Very good condition except for sunning on DJ spine and partial front and back. 12'x12" format. This book is distinguished by its accomplishment of several major objectives. It is an exquisite collection of photographs and drawings of classic examples of Japanese architecture. It is, in its text, a penetrating, brilliant study of the elements - historical, spiritual, social - which provided the inspiration of these structures, and which underline their significance in today's world. Serious perusal of both text and graphic material will quicken the reader's awareness that this book accomplishes a third objective: The reader will grasp our own architecture in a perspective of discipline, tradition and reverence which, once common in the Western World, would appear to have been long forgotten. In selecting the pictorial material for his book Werner Blaser has attempted to point out "the exciting possibility of creating the utensils and objects we use in everyday life in such a way that they have a spiritual being of their own and can thus warm and console our hearts, and bring us light and an inner joy." Text in English and German. 180 pages of photos and scaled architectural drawings. Nº de ref. del artículo: 000231
