Abstract
At present, nature is becoming more and more important in people’s mind. It is a very popular way to combine nature and humanity in architecture. Japanese architects have deep research and attainments in this respect, and combined with Japan’s unique humanistic care characteristics, can make the whole architectural style more lifelike. This paper will analyze the architectural style of Japan from several aspects and put forward its own views.
