Reseña: • A high impact photographic survey featuring 500 houses, one house per page, one image per house, in a fast-paced 'quick hit' format that shines a Shinjuku-bright neon light on the sheer volume and variety of residential architecture in Japan.

• Essential reading for architects, designers, fans of contemporary Japanese culture and obsessives of all kinds.

• A beautiful book object with the immediacy and visual saturation of image-based social media. 'Jutaku' meaning 'house' or 'home' in Japanese, contains houses by many of Japan's most celebrated architects including Shigeru Ban, Sou Fujimoto, Kengo Kuma, Jun Igarishi, Shuhei Endo as well as dozens of up and coming creative studios.

• Organized geographically, starting with Hokkaido in the north and ending with Okinawa in the south, simple, graphic maps lend organizational structure and context.

• Each entry is accompanied by short, fact-based captions as well as simple, engaging infographics to bring fun facts about each house to life.

• An introductory essay by Naomi Pollock, a Tokyo-based architectural writer and critic, provides context without clutter.

• Inspired by a Pinterest board that now has over 22,000 followers.
