Ideal for beginning students and travellers, Introduction to Japanese Architecture provides an overview of Japanese architecture in its historical and cultural context. It begins with a discussion of prehistoric dwellings and concludes with a description of contemporary trends in areas as diverse as country inns, underground shopping centres and love hotels. The intervening 12,000 years are analysed in terms of major changes in architecture caused by religious, indigenous and Western influences.
