NOTE: This reprint was produced in-house on professional flatbed scanners from the original book in my personal collection. The Architects Designs were intended for a community outside of Osaka, Japan and were for use by local carpenters. As such, there are no titles or dimensions.

• SHOJI: A Japanese screen or sliding door used to partition living spaces.
• KUMIKO: A decorative and practical Japanese woodworking system consisting of lattice pieces held together through precision joinery lacking any nails or other metal supports
