Nice-----

Very cool!

Very well done!
I find the combinations quite bold and working well!
Thanks for sharing!

Tokyo is not a cheap place--- pricing for a place like this is pretty easy to find on a search (in English). Craigslist is growing and yahoo auctions Japan certainly provide a lot of cheap and interesting items---mcm Japan is quite cool--a tad bit more utilitarian looking from what I have found. Japan is an amazing place in regards to cost of living. Living outside of the city centers-- the price drops. Living far from a train station it gets even cheaper. Also, while the rest of the world has faced continual inflation despite roller coaster economies Japan has not had any inflation. 5% sales tax! It doubled from 2.5 about 15 years ago--everyone was in shock!
Nice apartment by the way!

Can we see the link to the New York Times article?

You seem to have some Asian items in this pic-- scroll and plant. In Japan they use a very nice earthy green (tint, about a 3 on a 10 tone grey scale). This goes very well with the raw wood beams/frames in the houses.
Good Luck.

Indeed! Just a bad trend that will soon pass!
