Description
| Japan has approximately 400 inhabited islands with permanent residents. These islands are home to precious ecosystems and Japan’s unspoiled natural landscapes, and their daily lives still preserve numerous traditional customs and festivals. The architecture of these remote islands vividly reflects this unique culture and natural environment. This book offers a glimpse into the culture, daily life, and stories of the residents of these remote islands—often referred to as “microcosms of Japan”—as seen through the buildings found on them.
