Description

Explore the radical transformations of Japanese living spaces with Housing in Postwar Japan - A Social History. Published by Routledge, this book examines how changes in housing design impacted the lives of people across the country. It provides a deep look into public policy regarding housing provision and the consequences of rising land prices in Tokyo and other major cities starting from the mid-to-late 1970s. Beyond policy and economics, this work focuses on the physical evolution of dwellings. It tracks the steady cultural shift from traditional floor-sitting habits to a modern chair-sitting lifestyle in urban and suburban regions. A central element of this study is the inclusion of a translated account by Kyoko Sasaki, offering an observant perspective on these societal changes. This book is an essential resource for anyone interested in the architecture, social history, and urban development of postwar Japan.
