Traditional Japanese Home in the City

Posted on 14. May, 2008 @ 11:19 am by in Osaka Views: 5,299

Here is a large (for Japanese standards) Japanese home right in Osaka. I usually don’t see houses of this style unless I get away from the city.

Nice isn’t it?

Garden, wall, tiled roof, woody, classic.

And they’ve got a guard-cat.

    That’s a mighty, intimidating guard cat. Look at the blood-lust in his eyes.

    Behind the rock are the salesman and NHK fee collectors it has slain.

    Beautiful home and (of course I have to say it) GORGEOUS cat! I am reminded of how much I want rain chains on my house but I don’t even have gutters . . .

    Reminds me of the house in Gokusen, season 1. Maybe the cat is part of the yakuza.

    Did the house change in the current season of Gokusen?

    lovely! I wished Japan would have more preserved its traditional house style. all those mostly white modern japanese houses don’t look nice

    I agree with you. But … I wish I had a house like this! I live in Genoa, and a house so … I dream!
