...since the homes of even most well-to-do Japanese are small. Instead, the work is almost all commercial -- boutiques, department stores, cafes, bars. Take, for instance, Lucchino's, a bar in Tokyo's chic Nogizaka district. It is a medium-size space for Japan; the lighting is theatrically pink and orange, the fixtures neo-1920s.
