Swedish-made documentary looking at modern Japanese architecture's roots in tradition, and its impact on the Nordic building tradition. Kochuu translates as 'in the jar', and refers to the Japanese tradition of constructing small, enclosed spaces that create the impression of a separate universe. This film looks at the key components of traditional Japanese architecture, such as reducing the distinction between outdoors and indoors, disrupting the symmetrical, building with wood beams rather than walls, modular construction techniques and the relationship with water, light and nature.
