Abstract In each region, traditional housing has been transformed into a current housing shape, reflecting industrial materials and technologies since the Industrial Revolution in the West. In the case of Japan, unlike China and Korea, it has gone through an autonomous housing modernization process and has a unique residential culture to date. This study analyzed the characteristics that appeared in the process of housing modernization in Japan from an extension of Japanese tradition, and conducted a survey of Korean experts on the works that won the Japanese New Architect Award to derive and verify the characteristics through image language analysis of Japanese houses. As a result of the study, it was intended to synthesize and refer to the characteristics of Japanese housing, expression methods, and architectural meanings that have continued to appear through the modern period in traditional Japanese housing..
