Though we have seen many types architecture with specific style and technique behind them, the Japanese architecture is one which is based on the safety of the people who lived in and around the construction site. They concentrate mainly on the safety. The style and design integrity is only the secondary consideration for the Japanese. Being placed on the junction of tectonic plates, Japan is often attacked by earthquakes. This made them think wise and to construct buildings which either resists the force of the earthquake or else move in synch with them. Though they derived their architectural style from Chinese architecture, it contained the stability and reduced floor space. Most houses were built with bamboo. This technique made their house to be strong enough to face an earthquake of high magnitude. These houses generated low loss on damage and also easy for construction. The rooms were spacious and all the inner decorations were made of wood. Even the doors and windows were made of wood. Today’s architecture is quite different from the traditional Japanese architecture. There was a change in their style only after the influence of other traders who visited the coastal cities of Japan to trade and get shelter on their sea voyage.
