Just read the most insane Japan-deifying sentence that perfectly captures this book's text:
"...while the narrow, slightly recessed entrance recalls the genkan - an elemental space in Japanese homes separating the inside from the outside."
Genkan means door.

The descriptions sometimes are really cringe. Very Japan-revering in a way that makescit obvious they just want to sound clever, phrases like "as peaceful as a tea ceremony".

Second time I got a book with brutalist buildings for Christmas and again I'm sitting with my phone in hand marking every building in Google Maps❤️
