A restrained architectural tradition, with an emphasis on simplicity, asymmetry, sensitivity to the natural environment, and the use of natural materials such as wood, paper and bamboo, are the hallmarks of much of Japanese architecture. This more recent tradition developed in marked contrast to an earlier exuberance characterised by monumentality and the use of bold colours.

The dynamic nature of its contrast, and how it reflects the underlying diversity of Japanese culture, is explored in this general introduction, along with other major changes in architecture over the past 12,000 years. The book, whose topics range from prehistoric pit dwellings to palaces, castles, samurai residents, tea houses, early houses and contemporary trends, is profusely illustrated with colour photographs, maps, diagrams and specially commissioned watercolours.
