"This book is a translation of Nihon mokuzō isan : sennen no kenchiku o tabi suru (Sekai Bunka Publishing, Inc., 2014), which compiled a series of articles--planned and photographed by Mitsumasa Fujitsuka and written by Terunobu Fujimori with commentary by Mikio Koshihara--that were originally published in Kateigahō magazine, supplemented with additional essays by Mitsumasa Fujitsuka"--Page 002.

Summary
"Japan's Wooden Heritage: A Journey Through a Thousand Years of Architecture brings together essays by architectural historian Terunobu Fujimori and photographs by Mitsumasa Fujitsuka, and commentary by structural engineer Mikio Koshihara that originally appeared in Kateigahō, Japan's premier magazine of art and culture, supplemented with additional essays by Mitsumasa Fujitsuka. What distinguishes this volume is its selection of 23 locations--including well-known temples and shrines but also lesser-known structures--to represent a broad scope of architectural styles, functions, and time periods; the outstanding photographs; and the distinct approaches taken by each of the three essayists"-- Publisher's description
