I was taken enough by the Ryue Nishizawa-designed Moriyama house enough to see what I can find out about the man who commissioned it. This what my feeble inquiry has turned up:

Yasuo Moriyama is a Japanese individual known for his unique lifestyle and his collaboration with architect Ryue Nishizawa. He is often referred to as an “urban hermit”.

I reckon Moriyama and I would get on quite well.

There's a film about him and his house, logging here for a future watch.
