Dear friends, OfHouses is back after a very long break caused by a hard-disk failure. For the next four weeks we invite you to enjoy the twenty-seventh part of our very long series dedicated to some of the most unique Japanese old forgotten houses built in the last three decades of the 20th century. This will be the most comprehensive investigation of Japanese single-family housing ever published in the Western media!

In our forthcoming book “Japanese Fields | OfHouses” (scheduled for release in 2026), we will reveal the exact locations of all the 280 subsequent projects, plus more. Stay tuned; it’s going to be awesome!
