Japanese Architecture: A Short History: summary, description and annotation
We offer to read an annotation, description, summary or preface (depends on what the author of the book "Japanese Architecture: A Short History" wrote himself). If you haven't found the necessary information about the book — write in the comments, we will try to find it.
Pioneering Japanologist A. L. Sadlers invaluable study of Japanese architecture first appeared in 1941. Considered a classic in its field, unequaled in clarity and insight, Japanese Architecture A Short History is a lucid and uncomplicated introduction to this important aspect of Japanese culture. Beginning with the earliest evidences from prehistory and ending with the Edo period, when Japan attained stature as a modern state, Japanese Architecture is as relevant today as it was in 1941.
The book includes an overview of Japanese domestic architecture as it evolved through successive periods of history and perfected the forms so widely admired in the West. Of particular importance in this respect are the four concluding chapters, in which the distinctive features of the Japanese house are presented in clear detail. The architecture book also contains excellent illustrations, which show details of planning and construction.
