If you read something like Japanese Homes and Their Surroundings you can see how a lot of Japanese architects use traditional features just in a modern style.

u/Bodark43 · 2 pointsr/AskHistorians

You could search for Japanese Homes and Their Surroundings by Morse. Not many photos, as I recall, but good drawings. It was first published in 1886, Dover did a reprint of it and paperbacks of it are out there.

I would like to recommend this book as well

My boss lent it to me out of his personal library. According to the prologue (and I would like to note that I haven't confirmed this) it was the last and greatest work done on Japanese architecture (particularly homes) before Westernization. The author spent a long time traveling the country, talking to people and sketching/examining homes. Tons and tons of sketches and descriptions, as well as discussion of the living tradition that developed to create these homes.
