Traditional wooden townhouses (machiya in Japanese) are structures of maximum 3 floors. Often, they have… a floor and a half, like this machiya photographed in Mitsuhama, Ehime.
Named in Japanese tsushi nikai, the top floor is a low-ceiling attic with plaster walls and mushiko-mado widows, in most cases used as storage space.
