Hey Dana,

I'm an architect with a Japanese wife and an interest in Japanese house
design.

The classic text on Japanese houses is "Measure and Construction of the
Japanese house" by Heino Engals, 1985, Charles E. Tuttle  co., Rutland
Vermont. He was European, but raised in Japan.

An interesting little book I recently came across is "The Orange Mode" about
a Japanese architect and engineer who works on solar designs, Okumura Akio,
Professor Emeritus at the Tokyo University of Fine Arts.

Hope this helps!
