The Japanese House: Architecture and Life after 1945

“The obsession with Japanese architecture and design was a pre existing condition. This just intensified the symptoms. “In The Japanese House, visitors could experience a day in the Tokyo home of the enigmatic urban hermit, Yasuo Moriyama, designed by Ryue Nishizawa (SANAA), weaving in and out of the house’s ten individual, fully-furnished rooms and maze-like gardens. Rabbit chairs, sliding libraries and an ‘outdoor’ cinema were just some of the details that made up Moriyama’s unusual domestic environment as day turned to night creating a full sensory experience.””
