_INTRODUCTION TO JAPANESE ARCHITECTURE_ PROVIDES AN OVERVIEW OF
JAPANESE ARCHITECTURE IN ITS HISTORICAL AND CULTURAL CONTEXT.
It begins with a discussion of prehistoric dwellings and concludes
with a description of contemporary trends in areas as diverse as
country inns, underground malls, and love hotels. The intervening
12,000 years are analyzed in reference to major changes in
architecture caused by Buddhist and indigenous influences, feudalism,
and finally the influence of Western culture in the 19th century.
The architecture book provides insights into the dynamic nature of
this contrast and how it reflects the underlying diversity of Japanese
culture. The comprehensive, accessible text is complemented by over
340 color photographs, diagrams, and specially commissioned
watercolors.
