Monday, November 15, 2010
The Japanese are the absolute masters when it comes to small things. Be it Bonsai, microelectronics, small-engined cars or my favourite: micro homes. It probably has something to do with the lack of literal elbow room. If you’ve ever been to Tokyo you know exactly what I mean. As far as the eye can see [...]
