  Abstract:  Perceptions of Space and Body within the Processes of Identification in Japan. The present article discusses the construction of identity as a process of identification which is a process of placement and it focuses on one of the space metaphors, that is namely body, and its movement and perception. An embodiment is a process in which a space is constructed through socialization and body learning. Within the construction of space particular emotions important for individual identity arise. One of such spaces that creates strong feelings of belonging to a place is the dwelling environment.

Keywords: perception, identification, space, architecture, body, rituals, embodiment, Japa
