This picture is japanese traditional folk houses.
The houses have thatched roof that is suitable japanese climate.
In the houses summer is cool and winter is warm.
So,you should take off your shoes before entering the hiroma.
Hiroma is sentral room in the house.
There is Irori in the sentral hiroma.Roles of Irori are lighting and warming in the house.
And, the smork and soot from the irori help to preserve the beams.
I think that japanese traditional folk houses don't have waste.

There was certainly an art to building houses of that type. I lived in an old Japanese farm house for 5 years. It didn't have a thatched roof, but had big posts and beams and when I moved in, the kitchen had a dirt floor, our bath was a 'goimonburo' that was heated by wood and the toilet was just a hole in the floor. I learned to live with insects then.
ReplyDeleteHey, Satona.
ReplyDeleteI like Japanese traditional folk houses too.
They have unique moods and I feel be relaxed. Your blog is interesting for me. I'm looking forward to your posting.
I have never seen real Japanese traditional folk houses. There are no such houses in Kumamoto. I don't know where they are. Sometimes I want to see them!
ReplyDeleteUnfortunately, I have never seen it. I want to stay such a inn! I think it should be saved because it is precious culture in Japan. I have to learn Japanese culture to study English and go to abroad. So I'm looking forward to see your blog!xxx
