Dear friends, for the next four weeks OfHouses invites you to enjoy the twenty-eighth 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 projects in the series, plus more. Stay tuned; it’s going to be awesome!
