Elaborately Detailed Illustrations of Japanese Hotel Rooms by Kei Endo Highlight Architecture and Ornament

The finer points of key fobs, towels, and tea cups make their way into Kei Endo’s meticulously detailed floor plans of Japanese hotel rooms (previously). Carefully measured, the interior diagrams depict the furnishings, amenities, and layouts of various rooms, from corner suites to intimate sleeping pods. Endo elaborates on style elements like creative wall decor or unique views, including dimensions for every aspect of the room, right down to the height of the wine glasses.

The images here are part of a vibrant collection comprising Endo’s new book, Tokyo Hotel Sketch ,just released in Japan by Gakugei Publishing. Find more of the artist’s work on her website, and follow updates on X and Instagram.
