I could easily picture myself living in the Japanese countryside, relaxing on this kind of back porch drinking some ice-cold barley tea while listening to the cicadas humming all afternoon long!
Upkeep of a thatched roof would require learning new skills that are known among fewer and fewer of the Japanese with each passing generation.
I wonder if I would even be able to afford the insurance premiums if I lived in such a house. They are rather susceptible to fires, although structurally resistant to earthquakes due to the use of joint construction.
Keep coming back to this back porch. Can't quite get it out of my head!
