Spectacular hardcover-Traditional popular Japanese Houses

This spectacular volume is devoted to the architectural features of everyday Japaese life in the past. In the scores of photographs, many of which are works of art in their own right, some 96 houses are shown in great detail. Recorded here is an architecture created by artisans--an architecture without architects.
The book will make a very thoughtful gift as well as an ideal addition to a library of works about architecture, design, or Japanese culture.
The book is edited and photographed by Yukio Futagawa, Japan's foremost photographer of architecture. The text is by Teiji Itoh, an authority on Japanese houses.
