Reseña del editor:

Now reissued with a striking new cover, Japanese Detail: Architecture is the classic visual tour of traditional Japanese architecture. In this distinctive collection of images, photographer Sado Hibi captures the richness, harmony, and simplicity of Japanese dwellings. He examines how the Japanese create environments to harmonize with the natural features of their land, and how people have begun to seek shelters that provide tranquility. Hibi's striking colour photographs capture the luminescence of shoji screens, the rough-hewn elegance of flagstone garden paths, and the majestic lines of traditional roofs, windows, and furniture. A thought-provoking introduction discusses the renewal of this natural style of architecture and examines its deep-seated appeal.
