Title | The Japanese House and Garden |
Date | 1956 |
Description | "The traditional Japanese house is made of 'wood, paper, and bamboo', and is highly inflammable. Essentially it is nothing more than the home of the warrior of former times and therefore does not fit completely into modern life. From the technical point of view, indeed, it must even be called primitive. Nevertheless the traditional Japanese house possesses its own special advantages, which have decisively influenced modern domestic architecture not only in Japan but also in other countries." |
