By: Kazuo Nishi, Kazuo HozumiTraditional Japanese architecture—whether Buddhist temples or Shinto shrines, residences, castles, or teahouses—has become increasingly familiar around the world. Through the media of motion pictures, art books, T.V. documentaries and dramas such as Shogun, as well as through personal experience, more and more people have gained an acquaintance and appreciation of the architecture of premodern Japan. Some may even be able to name or recognize the oldest and the largest wooden structures in existence, which are to be found in Japan at Horyuji and Todaiji respectively. Yet often this knowledge is still rudimentary. Confusion abounds as to what distinguishes Japanese architecture from Chinese or Korean, or even Southeast Asian, not to mention what sets off a Buddhist temple from a Shinto shrine or, say, a residence of the tenth century from one of the eighteenth. Until now, there has been no recourse for those seeking, through a single book, to increase their appreciation of the whole range of traditional Japanese architecture. With the publication of What Is Japanese Architecture?, however, this situation has finally been rectified. Construction, design, carpentry, and the background of Japanese architecture, from prehistory to mid-nineteenth century, are here made available within the covers of a single, compact book.
With over 300 drawings that illuminate the essentials of discussion more concretely than words could ever do, and a text that is succinct and always to the point, the book is divided into four parts—one each dealing chronologically with religious structures, residences, castles, and places of entertainment. The reader learns not only how each of these fields of architecture has evolved over the centuries and what distinguishes the buildings of one age from those of another, but something of the historical conditions and the people responsible for these changes as well as the role played by carpentry and methods of construction. The establishment and growth of the historic Japanese capitals—Nara, Kyoto, Edo—is brought sharply into focus, along with the rise and spread of other urban centers. Also highlighted are the mansions of the court nobility; the castles and residences of the samurai aristocracy; the homes of village elders; dwellings of the common people; educational institutions, and places of entertainment such as theaters, red-light districts, teahouses, and country villas.
Any book that is as full of information as this, and readily accessible and clearly illustrated at the same time, will be of great interest and use to a wide range of people—architects, designers, historians, carpenters, movie buffs, tourists, garden designers, and others, whether amateur or professional. Whatever the readers' background, there is little doubt about one thing: they will emerge with an acuter eye and a greater sensitivity to the delights of traditional Japanese architecture.

High-Quality Omega 3 – Easy to Take, No Fishy Aftertaste
Size: 90 Count (Pack of 1)
I’ve been using Qunol’s Advanced Omega 3 Krill and Fish Oil Complex, and it’s one of the better omega supplements I’ve tried. The capsules are easy to swallow, and I haven’t experienced any fishy burps or aftertaste. The blend of krill and fish oil feels well-formulated, and the claim of better bioavailability makes sense since I notice benefits with fewer capsules compared to standard fish oil.
I like that it combines the strengths of both krill and fish oil—EPA and DHA support heart, brain, and joint health, while the added phospholipids from krill oil may improve absorption. The softgels are also smaller and easier to take than many large fish oil pills.
Pros:
Combines krill and fish oil for balanced omega support
No fishy aftertaste or burps
Smaller, easy-to-swallow softgels
Formulated for better absorption
Cons:
Pricier than standard fish oil supplements
Bottle size could be larger for daily users
Overall, this is a premium omega 3 supplement that’s worth it if you want high absorption and a cleaner experience. A reliable option for long-term heart and brain support.
