Abstract

The main components of organic architecture, leading to the inner harmony of an architectural structure, are archetypal for the architecture of Japan. Since ancient times, those principles have been identified and placed at the head of absolute harmony, which has become the essence of the Japanese culture. Using the example of Japanese architecture, Wright was able to confirm the correctness and solidity of his provisions of organic architecture. For Wright, many of the ‘organic’ characteristics of his theory have been embodied in traditional Japanese architecture. Creating his works in Japan, Wright found students and followers, having a significant impact on the development of Japanese architecture, which is felt up to this day.
