The complexity of considerations for the marked individuality and regional diversity of Japanese traditional farmhouses demands a synthesis of geographic approaches in order to obtain even a partial interpretation. The characteristics distinguishing folk dwellings reveal a long historical development which became set into local patterns or individual styles centuries ago. So sensitive is the architectural variation in relationship to local physical conditions that a large scale map may well be needed in order to fully chart this phenomenon. The pertinent economic, socio-cultural, aesthetic, and other attributes which have profoundly enriched the meaning of the minka all require special attention. It is evident that the basic structure and motif are appreciated, are compatible with the needs and technology of contemporary societies, and that Japanese architecture is making an impact on the American scene
