Japanese Traditional House
The Japanese traditional house made of wood is expected to last about twenty years before having to be repaired or rebuilt. Each year it is depreciated.
The interior design is what really sets the Japanese traditional house. With the exception of the entry way (genkan), the kitchen (dadikoro), the bathing room (sento), and the toilet (benjo), the rooms in a Japanese traditional house does not have a designated use.
A room can easily be a living room area, a bedroom, a dining room, or any combination. Large rooms are partitioned by fusuna, sliding doors made wood and thick paper. The paper used for fusuma is called washi. These sliding doors can be removed whenever a larger space is needed.
In large traditional houses, there was one large room, or lima (living space) that could be divided as needed. The smaller rooms like kitchen, bath and toilet were small extensions to one side. Rouka, or wooden-floored hallways, follow the edge of the home. Windows are made of wood and shoji paper, which is thin enough to let the light shine through.
Even Japanese houses tend to have one traditional Japanese room, called a washitsu. This room has tatami mats on the floors as used in Japanese traditional houses. Tatami are thick straw mats covered with stitched, woven rushes. Tatami are smooth and firm enough to walk on, while making a sleeping surface more comfortable than wood or stone.
The genkan is usually a step below the level of the rest of the house. When people enter the home, they leave their shoes in the genkan, pointed toward the door so they only need to slip them on when they are ready to go out. Indoor slippers are often worn inside the house.
The kitchen in most traditional Japanese homes will contain a stove with a very small oven and boiler and an electric refrigerator. Counter space for food preparation and a sink are also located in the kitchen.
