Let's go on an architectural journey together to Kansai, Japan.

Description
Book Introduction
The sixteenth installment of our humanities journey, explored by theme!
Japan, a close yet distant country, is a country with which we have politically and historically maintained an antagonistic relationship, but on the other hand, it is also a country that has had a long history of cultural exchanges with China, located next to it.
Among them, the Kansai and Kansai regions are regions where traditional and old things and new and modern things coexist.
Naturally, the architecture of the Kansai region is a mixture of traditional and modern elements.
Buildings are the largest framework that contains living spaces and culture.
It also becomes an art in itself.
While we live in a world where we can sit down and enjoy art like paintings and music online, architecture remains, and will continue to be, an art form that can only be truly appreciated by seeing it in person.
This book will serve as a stepping stone for those who are unsure of where and what to see on their architectural journey.
In addition to travelogues featuring architectural landmarks, it also includes tips to enrich your trip, including stories about Osaka's food and Japanese castles, making it a great companion for your trip to the Kansai region.
In this book, you can experience the diverse buildings and culture of the Kansai region, not only in the central areas that come to mind when you think of Kansai, such as Osaka, Kyoto, and Nara, but also in places a little further afield, such as Naoshima and Tejima.
In particular, Osaka and Hyogo, which are the central cities, offer three-day itineraries tailored to the theme.
We've introduced as many places as possible to ensure a rich content, so you'll have the fun of reconstructing the book to fit your own travels, rather than just following its route.
This book also includes a walk in the footsteps of Tadao Ando, a representative modern Japanese architect whose works are also in Korea. Complete your own travel itinerary by following the sights and experiences you've seen and felt on foot.
