UNCRATING the JAPANESE HOUSE

¥9,350
 
This book explores the exchange between Japanese and American modernist architecture, focusing on three key works: "Shofuso," designed by Junzo Yoshimura in 1954 and exhibited at the Museum of Modern Art (MoMA) in New York; the "Raymond Farm" created by Antonin and Noémi Raymond in New Hope, Pennsylvania; and George Nakashima's "Nakashima Studio." Shofuso, assembled and relocated by traditional Japanese carpenters, embodies a fusion of Japanese and modern architecture, emphasizing the continuity between indoor and outdoor spaces. The book includes new photographs by Elizabeth Felicella and essays by Ken Tadashi Oshima and William Whitaker, offering in-depth insights into the cultural significance of these architectural works, along with historical documentation.
