Written at a time when Japanese art was only beginning to be appreciated in the West, Impressions of Japanese Architecture conveys a sense of discovery and enthusiasm that modern readers will
find as interesting and infectious as the bookÆs first readers did.
Long considered a classic that should be on the shelf of anyone interested in Japanese architecture, this new edition contains a foreword by acclaimed contemporary architect and author Mira
Locher. This foreword puts the book into perspective for modern readers and explains why this collection of essays originally published about one hundred years ago is still of immense value
to anyone wishing for a better understanding of Japanese architecture, art, and culture.
