Ebook Download | Architecture and Authority in Japan | I very much like this book. The range of examples are well selected and thought provoking. I have lived in Japan for 14 years and I have come to view Japanese architecture in a different way. The author shows a real command of the subject and writes in a way that is enjoyable to read.
As an example, one of the subject buildings (Shofuku-ji) is a temple near my house and is the only official kokuho ("National Treasure") structure in the Tokyo area. Although a beautiful building, I was not able to appreciate why it was so recognized until I read the chapter in the book about it. The author was able to set the historical context and point out what makes it unique.
