As one of the most volcanically active regions in the world, the islands of Japan are home to nearly 30,000 natural hot springs of varying mineral composition, color, and temperature. Historically, these onsen have been a vital part of the national identity. "Toward a Naked Architecture" explores this narrative from an architectural perspective, recounting centuries of steam baths through the eyes of an architect. In three chapters examining the past, present, and future, the book delves into the spiritual roots of bathing, the diverse contemporary structures built around it, and the enduring influence of this poetic fusion of architecture, nature, and the naked body.
