This expert guide to Japanese architecture is of enormous
historical importance to the understanding of Japanese design and
culture. Pioneering Japanologist A. L. Sadler's 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 evidence 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.
