Japanese traditional house, Hiroma

Wed, March 20, 2019, by Muza-chan

The traditional Japanese houses were built with two main zones: an earth-floored area named doma and a large central multipurpose living room (hiroma).

Photographed here is the hiroma area of the Onodera family house in the Michinoku Folklore Village, Kitakami, Iwate.
