Kominka by Kazuo Hasegawa
Discover the timeless beauty of Japan's traditional folk houses and villages.
For centuries, traditional wooden folk houses known as kominka have embodied the cultural values of pre-modern Japan. Their sturdy posts and powerful beams have withstood earthquakes and other natural disasters, demonstrating the artistry of Japanese carpenters and the strength of handcrafted wood joinery. Preserved and reconstructed today, kominka offer silent testimony to the enduring beauty and resilience of Old Japan.
Kazuo Hasegawa's profusely illustrated introduces readers to the vernacular architecture, equips travelers with a guide to Japan's 101 must-visit kominka and villages, and is a useful reference for those who are planning to embark on a kominka renovation journey of their own. Perfect for lovers of Japanese architecture, historic preservation, and unique travel destinations.
