Connecting the past and the future; Timelessness of Japanese Houses
Japan went though a drastic transformation during the Meiji Era, 1868 to 1877.

Does a house built in a traditional Japanese way, fit into the modern world? This article explores the perfect balance of traditional and contemporary Japanese houses, and maps how they will coexist in the future.
