A minka (“people’s house”) is a Japanese country house traditionally built with simple materials like bamboo, earth and straw. Once inhabited by farmers, artisans and merchants, today it tends to be replaced by more modern buildings. Japan is aware of the disappearance of its rural heritage and very strong regional character, and undertook a policy of preserving and fixing some of these homes. In some cases, entire villages have been renovated, such as Shirakawa-go.

An ancient tradition

These thatched houses were ideally adapted to their environment and climatic conditions according to their region. Both beautiful and functional, they reflect the essence of Japanese architecture whose recognizable styles are held with pride by Japanese people. Built with local materials almost exclusively of plant origin, sometimes supplemented with clay, they were made without nails. The interior of a typical minka was generally composed of a large room (dôma) where crafts, farm work and food preparation occurred. It also had a raised living area with tatami, and for the most sophisticated, modular rooms where family activities took place. The roof rafters form the shape of praying hands. In Buddhism when the roof is completed the whole idea is to ask God to descend on the new house to protect the house, family.
