Houses in Japan

Japan is a country that experiences many natural disasters, such as earthquakes, typhoons, and volcanic activity, and it also has pronounced seasonal changes, including hot summers and severely cold winters. Perhaps the fundamental idea behind house building in such a country is to live in harmony with these changing natural conditions.
This time, I would like to introduce the past and present of ordinary homes lived in by ordinary people in Japan. The methods of construction and the way people think about housing are probably quite different from those in your country. I do hope you will find it interesting.
