This unique work provides a detailed visual account of the construction process of a traditional middle-class Japanese house, capturing both the craftsmanship and culture inherent in the building practices of the time. The book chronicles the entire building process from the selection of timber to the final touches of the house's interior. It highlights the roles of various workers, including carpenters and masons, detailing their tasks such as sawing, planing, and assembling wood, as well as the ceremonial aspects of the building process. Through meticulously chosen photographs and descriptions, Takagi presents a comprehensive view of the careful planning and skilled labor that goes into constructing a home, reflecting the aesthetic and cultural values of early 20th-century Japan. The completion of the house is celebrated with traditional ceremonies, emphasizing the importance of craftsmanship in Japanese society. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
