There is a clear focus on "traditional" Japanese architecture....especially temple, shrine, castle, and great houses. And maybe one could be mildly critical of the fact that modern architecture ...especially modern domestic architecture gets short shrift. A couple of pages are devoted to massive modern buildings such as the twin towers of Umeda Sky Building in Osaka (and yep...I've been there and the view is great)...but, I guess, this was not a book about modern Japanese Architecture. There are plenty of those around.
I really like the book. Happy to give it five stars.… (altro)
