Description

First published in 1886, this classic review of the Japanese house and garden remains an authoritative description of the architecture of the typical Japanese home as well as items of daily use.

More than 300 detailed illustrations by the author provide accurate information on all aspects of domestic architecture, from types of houses, interiors of both ordinary and teahouse rooms, floor plans, roof detailing, and methods of construction to garden design, decorations, furniture, and fittings.

From ancient, traditional house design to the origins of modern Japanese building, this comprehensive book reveals the important historical and cultural sources of Japanese architecture and design, making it a time tested resource for generations of architects and landscape designers.
