Description: Based on extensive research, this book provides a synthetic overview that brings together the main themes of Japanese and Western architecture since 1850 and shows that neither could exist in its present state without the other.
Review Quotes: "An ambitious and exhaustively researched book.... Jackson's well-illustrated essays track important figures, movements and themes, from the isolationist, feudal pre-Meji period to the present, switching back and forth between parallel or related developments in Japan, Europe and the USA." - Paul Baxter, Architecture Today
