Description

History
This house was built in 1958 and reflects how Japanese homes were constructed after World War II. It shows the direction residential architecture took during the middle of the twentieth century in Japan.
Culture
The interior spaces follow traditional Japanese room arrangements with dedicated areas for receiving guests and conducting ceremonies. This layout shows how important structure and respect were in daily household life.
