• The earliest form of a private house with columns

  This building is modeled after a farmhouse that used to stand in this park. Although built in the early Showa period, the style belongs to that of the older straw-thatched house, called anaya, consisting of a main building and kitchen. The pillars at the four corners are all made of limestone, with a low floor and a straw-thatched roof supported by small round timbers. Both the main building and the kitchen use as walls double layers of bamboo with straw stuffed inside. The earth-filled walls around the kitchen furnace are simple piles of limestone in a primitive style known as nozura. Customarily, slanted troughs are set up where two roofs meet to drain rainwater to the back of the house.
