[IBC] Japanese Homes and their Surroundings by Edward S.Morse
I just picked up a used copy of this book, and it looks quite
interesting. There is a long section on tokonomas, with a number of illustrations including one with a suiseki in a tokonoma. There is also a section on gardens including a brief description of bonsai with the usual twist of curiosity mixed with puzzlement. All in all it looks like an interesting picture of Japanese domestic culture at the turn of the century.

Craig, Is traditional Japanese architecture discussed? David J. Bockman, Fairfax, VA (USDA Hardiness Zone 7) Bunabayashi Bonsai On The World Wide Web: http://www.bunabayashi.com email: Yes, in great detail, including building methods, designs for framework of houses, layout plans of homes, details of doors, windows, fencing, etc. but only homes--not temples or public buildings. It was originally published in 1887.
