From the year 1868 of Japan’s emergence as a new nation, the Modern Japanese Architecture Part 1: From Meiji Restoration to the Pacific War course by edX illustrates the roots of modern buildings in Japan. These lasted over three-quarters of a century. Teachings and video transcripts for the course are available in English. By paying a fee, edX offers a verified certificate to its learners.
The edX Modern Japanese Architecture Part 1 course focuses on the westernisation of Japanese architecture that lasted from the period of 1868 to 1945.

It also includes the ‘stripped-down’ approaches of Walter Gropius that influenced Japanese architecture.
