PowerShop
Nowhere in the world does the interior design of a shop influence the sales as it does in Japan. Retailers spare no trouble or expense when planning and realising the design or renovation of their premises. If a few months pass and the interior fails to produce the desired commercial success, the refurbishment game starts all over again. PowerShop presents the best and most recent retail designs by ten Japanese interior architects, each of whom agreed to a personal interview. Shops and showrooms created for established names like Issey Miyake, Yohji Yamamoto and Nissan share center stage with numerous smaller, cutting-edge boutiques. In-depth reviews of more than 30 projects are complemented by full-shot and close-up photographs, as well as various drawings, including renderings. The book also features a complete reference section, countless statistics and a number of anecdotes about shopping in Japan.
Japanese Economics and Economists since 1945
In this book, leading Japanese scholars present an objective study of Japanese economics since 1945, based on statistical data and analysis. The first half of the book assesses the impact and influence of Japanese economics within the international academy, demonstrating the increasingly important contribution of Japanese approaches to theoretical and mathematical economics. Part Two investigates the impact of Japanese economics on policy-making, dissecting the formulation of the famous 'industrial structure policy', and comparing Japanese economics with American and Korean models. Presenting a wealth of original empirical data, and a new perspective on international economic theory, this book will be of interest to historians, theoreticians and policy-makers alike.
The Armageddon of Architecture and Design
This book examines why there is a lack of humanity in current architecture that produces such ghastly environmental errors. It brings together a selective study of past historical styles and works of art since primitive times in order to understand how the evolution of design was broken in the 20th century. Current ideologies and philosophies of the day are examined to ascertain those elements which fuelled a modern architecture that is lacking in humanity and agreeable contextual co-existence with our inherited communities. It shows that the complex effervescence of evolutionary life with its joy, communal celebratory nature, and constructive creative urges, is vulnerable from attack by these stronger alien forces of elimination and reductionism because their actions are by nature aggressive and dictatorially dominant. This book will appeal to all those academics and professional stakeholders who care for the environment and wish to see more positive changes.
A History of Economic Science in Japan
Japanese economists began publishing scientific papers in renowned journals including Econometrica in the 1950s and had made their significant contributions to the sophistication of general equilibrium analysis by intensive use of a variety of mathematical instruments. They had contributed significantly to the transformation of neoclassical economics. This book examines how it became possible for Japanese economists to do so by shedding light on the "professional" discussion of the international gold standard and parity policies in the early twentieth century, the acceptance of "mathematical economics" in the following period, the impact of establishment of the Econometric Society (1930), an...
