Samurai house kanji Bukeyashiki,Dobei and tuchikabe

Travel to Japan kanazawa ishikawa kaga maeda

Samurai house “Bukeyashiki”

The house say “Bukeyashiki” where a samurai lived in.

The samurai family is words to hint at a samurai.

There was a social position discrimination system called a merchant and the farmer.

The person born in the samurai family attends.

The person born in the merchant's family becomes a merchant.

A person born in the farmhouse is a farmer throughout the life.

It cannot change like Indian caste throughout the life.

But there is the person who became a merchant from a samurai.

In addition, it was allowed for the merchant with the power to have a sword.

Because it was allowed only a samurai to have a sword particularly is only a big merchant.

By the way, “Bukeyashiki” was surrounded at a wall.

In this wall “Dobei” , soil was plastered.

In the present age, there became few places with such an earthen wall in Japan.

This earth wall “Tuchikabe” is used in a house.

"Bukeyashiki" is meaning "samurai house".

"Do-bei" Wall of the soil

"Tuchi-kabe" Indoor earth wall

 pronounce to "tuchi","do"

Until before 40-50 years, it was used commonly.

However, it is very expensive to use “Tuchikabe” in a house in the present age.

“Tuchikabe” and “Dobei” cut straw finely and are mixed with soil.

“Tuchikabe” coordinates temperature and the humidity well.

“Tuchikabe” is warm in winter coolly in the summer.

Start learning japan kanji 1 2 3

Before learning a kanji

A Japanese letter has a kanji, a hiragana letter and katakana.

The kanji came from China around 1,800 years ago and increased.

It is written old Japanese book only in a kanji like China.

However, a hiragana letter which expressed a sound came to be used among women in particular widely in (the early tenth century) in the Heian era.

And the katakana is used equally, too.

It is the same, and these express a kanji.




But there is a kanji to make the same pronunciation.



Therefore, only in a hiragana letter and katakana, I do not understand the meaning of the sentence well.


O. K. then, let's learn a kanji to express a simple number first.

It's One,Two,Tree.

One = draw a line from the left

Two = Similarly, pull two of them. tops are short.




three = Finally pull three of them. Bottom is long.

In Japan, do not draw straight the line of the letter.

This is because it attaches a sumi to the writing brush, and it wrote a letter in old days.

In fact, an exercise is necessary to write one line.

Please look well.

I only think that I understand that I do not draw straight a line.

Please understand this.

It is a very difficult thing that even a Japanese and a Chinese write a letter neatly.

Let's learn Japanese Kanji １ｓｔ Right & Left

Let's learn a Japanese kanji.

Here, please learn the kanji that a Japanese primary schoolchild learns.

It is 1,006 characters in total.

I introduce the simple example sentence using the kanji.

A Japanese sentence comes to considerably understand that you learn this.


I do attention when you write a kanji first.

In Europe and America, you write the letter aside towards the right from the left.
you move to the lower step when you finish writing one line.
However, in Japan, I write a letter lengthwise towards a bottom from the top.
I move to the left when I finish writing one line.
But there is the spread of PCs, too, and writing from left to right like Europe and America spreads recently.
I write the Japanese kanji towards the right from the left.
And I go below the top and write it.

For example, in this way.





This is a simple kanji, but is a meaning called the right.

The pronunciation is migi. I pronounce it "migii".

It is similar, but 2nd is a meaning called the left.

The pronunciation is hidari.

I pronounce it "hidari".
