As we have seen before on this blog, the simplicity of Japanese design is one that appeals across cultures and borders. However, it is always beautiful to see inspiration take root in homes where those aesthetics first blossomed. This countryside home, deemed "Tree House" in Kitakyushu, Fukuoka Prefecture in Japan is one of those examples. The renovated house, which was passed down from a previous generation, uses Japanese design elements to bring literal and figurative warmth into the space. The resulting home is wide open, with indoor plants that can thrive in the stunning sunshine and unique vintage elements that give it copious amounts of personality.
