He finds the periodic ritual relocation of Ise's precincts a counter to the West's concept of architectural permanence, and the repetition of the ritual an alternative to modernity's anxious quest for origins. He traces the \"constructive power\" of the Todai-ji Temple to the vision of the director of its reconstruction, the monk Chogen, whose imaginative power he sees as corresponding to the revolutionary turmoil of the times. The Katsura Imperial Villa, with its chimerical spaces, achieved its own Japan-ness as it reinvented the traditional shoin style.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAnd yet, writes Isozaki, what others consider to be the Japanese aesthetic is often the opposite of that essential Japan-ness born in moments of historic self-definition; the purified stylization—what Isozaki calls \"Japanesquization\"—lacks the energy of cultural transformation and reflects an island retrenchment in response to the pressure of other cultures.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCombining historical survey, critical analysis, theoretical reflection, and autobiographical account, these essays, written over a period of twenty years, demonstrate Isozaki's standing as one of the world's leading architects and preeminent architectural thinkers.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eDetails:\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAuthors: Arata Isozaki and David B.
