Too simplistic, imitation primitive, too abstract for me. It's crude and rural, and not very imaginative. It reminds me of a church from the inside. The 'peaks' are nothing but imitations on thatched roofs without their function to justify their existence. A bit juvenile, in my opinion.

If you want great architecture from Japan, Shell House by Kotaro Ide in Nagano is an example:

Now that is something outstanding. Elegant, unique, imaginative, and sophisticated design. I did a project on this house in my first year in architecture.

(Something for [MENTION=21558]Emiliano[/MENTION] -- did you know about this house?).
