  Divided into three distinct chapters: Work , Rest , and Play , the book reveals all aspects of their lifestyle, from state-of-the-art offices to the latest clubs, bars, and restaurants, as well as modern interpretations of traditional Japanese places such as tea-ceremony rooms and ryokans (guest houses). The photography captures not just the interiors and the people, but also the extraordinary design details, including table settings, furniture, glass, fabrics, lighting, and, of course, objects, that surround the fashionable Japanese every day.
