Reviews

"Designers, architects, artists, and anyone with a love of Japanese traditional culture will enjoy this book."--Library Journal

"It describes architectural components throughly, exactingly, and lovely--identifying them all with Japanese terms. Overall, this is a delightful book of photographs and a useful...guide for Japanophile architects and designers."--CHOICE

"Mira Locher makes the observation that tradition only exists as an idea when it is challenged or superseded by the new. In her first-rate resource book on traditional design you will learn a great deal about construction methods, in which the use of natural materials encouraged a responsible attitude toward conservation."--The Japan Times
