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".

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.
