Across tea rooms, museums, an onsen and a roadside toilet, the same instinct holds: break the wall into particles, into louvres and lattices of wood, stone and bamboo, until the structure loses its edges and settles back into the site. Craft over mass, surface over monument. Buildings made to recede, to be walked through rather than looked at. A growing collection.
Timber split into slats until mass thins to shadow, and the building gives way to its ground.
