Vanishing Japan

Japan is responsible for some of the most edgy, exuberant, and eye-popping buildings in the world. From a hotel resembling a pagoda to a kindergarten with fifty-four roofs, beloved icons have gone up . . . and come down again.

Here, ninety remarkable structures from all over Japan are shown in their full glory.

All were bold architectural statements, local landmarks, and an integral part of the country's cultural fabric. At once a record of incredible buildings lost to the wrecking ball and a reflection on why they were torn down, Vanishing Japan will make you look at your own neighborhood anew.
