This is a beautiful book with detailed research sketches. It's also highly valued on Amazon. Please consider purchasing it. This book is a reprint of two design surveys from the magazine "Kenchiku Bunka" (Architectural Culture), originally published in seven installments from 1968 to 1973. The Kamiyo Laboratory focused on fishing villages, where living and working were inseparable, and conducted all their surveys during festivals. The Miyawaki Seminar attempted to decipher the morphological order of post towns, temple towns, and farming villages. These surveys, conducted approximately 40 years ago, now hold valuable historical significance.
