288 pages. Profusely illustrated with diagrams and color and black and white photos. First printed in Japanese in 1978. "Author spent years roaming through Europe to capture on film these jewels of houses and the precious and fast-disappearing examples of handcrafted wooden trimmings, balconies, window treatments, eaves, gables, and delicately carved walls that adorn them. A tribute to the expressive qualities of wood and to the timbered towns and the folk cultures that created them." - dust jacket. Yukio Futagawa [1932-2013] was one of Japan's foremost architects, an acclaimed architectural photographer, and founder of Global Architecture (GA) Magazine. Book clean and unmarked. Very light wear to publisher's handsome coarse brown cloth. Hinges just starting. Moderate wear to dust jacket now preserved in archival-grade Brodart. A quality copy of this sublime exposition.
