Great what you made out of this small place - love it that you kept it simple instead of using a lot of colors which would make it just too crowded and feel narrow. Simple simple simple - very nice and calm.

Fishgirl ... by the way, the last pic IS showing Tatami mats, so it would be interesting from where you go this, hm, surprising information that Japanese are moving their Tatami mats ... or were your thinking of the Futon?

@Haruki
The Jasper Morrison Low Pad are definitely one of my favorites - fell in love with them when I first saw them in a museum in London and knew that I needed them.
They are really comfortable to sit on, lollybox, but sometimes I miss a bit a headrest - that's true.
Due to the fact that they are so low we use them in the Japanese room - East meets West.

The computer in the bedroom is not the only one - the mini-studio actually houses 3 computers (2 laptops and a big one). Works gets done in the mini-studio while the bedroom-computer is more for watching movies, bit spoiled, I know ... ;-)

@ Daniel Michael
Thanks a lot - it is very interesting how different everybody reacts on the flat as well as the photos. Guess that my background as an architect together with the fact that I know my flat let me go for close-ups instead of overview photos. I always assume that everybody has the same way of imagination like me - so this feedback is a good experience - critic as well as thumbs up!

The bed was actually the solution for our storage space problem ... but to be honest during an earth-quake it get's of course a bit shake, more than it would get when we would just sleep with the futon on the floor as we did for several years.

@ erinstl and irritablevowel
It is very interesting that you are so 'Japanese' (although I assume that you aren't ;-) ) regarding the use of Tatamis.
Here in Japan most Japanese are nowadays quite relaxed when it comes to Tatamis and all my friends like this combination of East and West. By the way I normaly just sit on the chairs instead of moving them constantly so the Tatamis look still ok beside that the sun has taken already the fresh green color after several years.

Thanks everybody for your feedback - positive as well as critical. I very much appreciate that!

By the way, H L I, there are NO people under the covers in the bed room ... it is just that the bed is just 1.40m (55inch) wide and we still use to the cold weather here in Tokyo thick daun covers which are you see there on top of each other ... I have got just 70cm (27.5inches) for myself, haha - tiny tiny!
