Summary:

"Sadly, few of the buildings from Japan's interwar period withstood the destruction of World War II and the wrecking balls of subsequent decades of development. Oshima uses a wealth of photographs to vividly capture the character of the burgeoning architectural media of those years and to generously illustrate the works and visions of three pioneering modernists."--BOOK JACKET.
