A highly regarded architectural reference dedicated to Frank Lloyd Wright's legendary Imperial Hotel in Tokyo, completed in 1923 and widely celebrated for surviving the Great Kanto Earthquake that struck on the day of its opening. Created from surveys conducted shortly before the building's demolition, this volume contains detailed measured drawings, plans, sections, construction details, historical analysis, and documentary photographs. The research was directed by Professor Nobumichi Akashi, while renowned architectural photographer Osamu Murai documented the building's final state. Although the main text is in Japanese, many photographs, captions, architectural drawings, and technical references include English text. As the original building no longer exists, the measured drawings reproduced in this volume remain among the most accurate surviving records of Wright's masterpiece, preserving architectural information unavailable in most other publications. An important reference for architects, historians, researchers, and Frank Lloyd Wright collectors worldwide.
