{"product_id":"minka-1955","title":"Minka 1955","description":"\u003cp\u003eBorn from his fascination with ancient architecture and a personal rediscovery of its beauty through materials such as wood, stone, earth and thatch, the aspiring architecture student Yukio Futagawa set out in the mid-1950s to photograph ‘minka’, the traditional rural houses of Japan. This experience would be instrumental in shifting his life’s work toward photographing rather than creating architecture. This large-format compendium of Futagawa’s images of villages and homes captures not only the sequence of history but also the essence of Japanese culture at a time when much of the country remained agrarian, not yet subjected to more recent, rapid modernisation.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e144 p, ills bw, 26 x 36 cm, pb, Japanese\/English\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp class=\"search-metadata\"\u003eJapanese Traditional Houses\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Hochparterre Bücher","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53181640868168,"sku":"1357","price":46.0,"currency_code":"CHF","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0946\/0255\/9816\/files\/minka.jpg?v=1779810925","url":"https:\/\/www.hochparterre-buecher.ch\/products\/minka-1955","provider":"Hochparterre Bücher","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
