Within Ichimura at Brushstroke, the traditional edo-mae sushi isn't the only delight. The serene interior of the restaurant-within-a-restaurant has two distinct spaces, with textured walls made from layers of 25,000 recycled books inset into blond wood. 

Enclosed within the paperbacks are three miniature dioramas that boast the same whimsical design touches and level of detail as chef Eiji Ichimura's Omakase menu.
