Minka

In 1959 journalist John Roderick was given a 250-year-old minka, or hand-built farmhouse. His architectural memoir tells the compelling story of how one man fell in love with the people, culture and ancient building traditions of Japan, and reminds us all about the importance of craftsmanship and the meaning of place and home in the process.
