Summary:
For this yearbook, our annual selection of the representative arcitecture of Japan, fifty works have been chosen from those published in Shinkenchiku Jutaku Tokushu and are presented in order of the amount of floor area, from smallest to largest.

Whenever I think of that, even a single piece of washi seems precious.
