Approximately 200 “Floor plans” of modern Western-style mansions in the Taisho and early Showa periods in Japan are included!
Includes selected “floors” from housing information advertisements along railway lines in the suburbs of Kansai, which were developed from the Taisho era to the early Showa era.
Shinya Hashizume, an architectural historian in Osaka, selects a wide variety of residential floor plans from his vast collection and interprets the life history of those days.
This book is sure to be a coveted book for architecture and floor plans, where you can enjoy a cultural housing style that is completely different from the modern one, with a mixture of Japanese and Western rooms.
