Architecture and Authority in Japan Summary
| Japanese architecture is one of the most inspired manifestations of Japanese civilisation. This study argues that architectural styles are more than just symbols of the powers that created them. William H. Coaldrake explores the symbiotic relationship between architecture and authority throughout Japanese history, exploring key structures as active conveyors of power, and relating buildings to the political ambitions and religious beliefs of the major historical eras in Japan. |
