Book excerpt: This Japanese architecture and design book is a wonderful source of new styles and ideas for those looking to add a distinctively Zen flair to their home. Limited spaces, unlimited technology, a tradition of innovation, and sheer Japanese panache have combined to inspire the 26 stunning homes featured in Japan Houses. Conceived by 24 of Japan's leading architects and designers, each of the houses forecasts and defines a new trend in residential architecture, reinventing the meaning and use of space, material, and function. Traditional lifestyles are challenged, domestic functions such as cooking and entertaining are moved out of the house into the public domain, while laptops bring work back in. Zen minimalist is juxtaposed with comfortable opulence, time-honored workmanship is coupled with exciting new materials, resulting in a recognizable style that belongs to Japan, reflecting its culture and craftsmanship, while at the same time being avant-garde and international. The spirit of each of these astonishing houses is captured in beautiful photographs, plans and commentary.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Unlocking the Secrets of Japan's Akiya: The Mystical Abandoned Homes of the Land of the Rising Sun" In a land where ancient traditions harmonize with cutting-edge modernity, Japan's captivating allure extends beyond its bustling cities and picturesque landscapes. Deep within its enigmatic cultural tapestry lies a hidden phenomenon known as "Akiya," or abandoned and unoccupied houses. This intriguing and rapidly growing issue has gripped the nation, driven by a unique interplay of demographics, preferences, and governmental initiatives. With over six decades of fascination with Japan's rich culture and heritage, Harry Studer, artist, author, and co-founder of Sour Street Publishing, takes you on an extraordinary journey through the realm of Japanese Akiya. Having first set foot on Japanese soil in 1977, Harry's enduring passion for this captivating archipelago has led him to explore and document the mysterious world of these neglected dwellings. Japan's Akiya crisis has reached staggering proportions, with over ten million such homes dotting the country's landscape. The Japanese government, recognizing the pressing need for solutions, has initiated programs aimed at revitalizing these abandoned properties. These initiatives offer support to new owners and, in some cases, provide opportunities to acquire Akiya at low or even no cost. Careful consideration is given to ensure that the integration of new residents into communities is seamless, respecting the delicate balance of local life. However, the path to claiming an Akiya is not always as straightforward as it seems. While some may require extensive renovations, others can be acquired with just a few minor adjustments, and, astonishingly, some are offered completely free, contingent on adhering to certain rules. With 62.4 million homes in Japan and a staggering 8.49 million recorded as unoccupied in 2018, even Tokyo, the nation's bustling capital, bears the weight of this issue, with one in every ten homes lying abandoned. Alarming projections by the Nomura Research Institute suggest that by 2030, one-third of all homes in Japan will be vacant or abandoned, posing a grave threat to 900 small towns that could vanish by 2040. To combat this impending crisis, the Japanese government has enacted the Special Measures Act on Promotion of Measures on Vacant Houses, commonly referred to as the "akiya law," in a bid to breathe life back into these endangered areas. As we delve into the pages of "Unlocking the Secrets of Japan's Akiya," we will uncover the complex web of factors contributing to the Akiya phenomenon, shed light on the transformative government initiatives, explore the profound impact of these abandoned homes on Japan's cultural and demographic landscape and how you can take advantage of this tremendous opportunity. This unique perspective and intimate connection with Japan's heritage will provide readers with a deep understanding of this evolving issue, offering a rare glimpse into the heart of a nation grappling with the enigma of its own abandoned past and uncertain future.
