Description: An Incisive Study of a Towering Figure in Modern Japanese Architecture
Review Quotes: Thanks to this deeply researched study, readers can at last gain a full and nuanced picture of twentieth-century scholar, architect, and pan-Asianist ideologue Itō Chūta. As Mullane demonstrates, Itō's fascinating and eccentric body of work is equally important to our understanding of global architectural modernity as it is to the history of modern Japan.--Jordan Sand, Georgetown University
