Kano House

Outline
This is the residence of the future first president of the Japan Housing Corporation. The impressive construction method with ridge-hung pillars is based on the war assembly architecture developed during the war period, and based on the A-shaped ridge-hung pillars and standardized panels developed by Sakakura, who obtained a copy of the plans of assembly houses planned in France through Charlotte Perriand, who was invited to Japan in 1940 to teach crafts.
