Traditional Houses of Japan (Book) by Amy Sylvester Katoh. Photographs by Shin Kimura. Very good condition, interior like new, some marks on cover. Hardcover 192 pages. Flammarion. 2004. French language.

Traditional Houses of Japan. On the fringes of the immense urban expanses that today dot the archipelago, the spirit of Japan lives in its country houses. Amy Katoh, accompanied by Shin Kimura, one of the country’s most prominent photographers, traveled to a remote and peaceful Japan, discovering these shrines where time seems to have stood still. The very simple ornamentation, the ancient know-how, the respect of ancestral rules conceal all the richness of a great civilization.

Drawing on 450 splendid color photos, this work presents the faces of yesterday’s Japan and describes the evolution of the traditional rural way of life. It is an invaluable reservoir of ideas for all those who wish to bring nature and beauty into their lives as modern city dwellers.
