[65179] Motohori Kominka | Yakage Town, Oda County, Okayama Pref.

Motohori Kominka

Yakage Town, Oda County, Okayama Prf.

The age of this Kominka is unknown, but its style and other features suggest that it may have been built dating back to Edo period, more than 200 years ago. This is reinforced by the fact that it was built and maintained by the Shoya's (village head) family, an influential local family for many generations. The location of Motohori village, with its excellent safety from flooding and mudslides, is an advantage of the village and the kominka, which were built with the experience and long history of successive generations of residents in mind, and of the Shoya's house, which occupies a prime position in the village. Also, another outstanding advantage is that many fine old buildings besides the Shoya 's house remain in the village.

Photos

The Yakage town is located in a corridor where the Oda River and the old Sanyo Road pass east-west between the low mountains of Hiroshima and Okayama prefectures, and was once an important passage between western Japan and the ancient capital region. Today, the area is a quiet suburban landscape of rice paddies and fields, and this Kominka also stands quietly overlooking it from a slight elevation on the edge of the mountains.

Why KORYOYA houses?

The traditional Japanese houses listed on KORYOYA are all built before 1950 with the traditional construction method.

The traditional method is the result of more than a thousand years of past carpenters passing down their efforts and wisdoms. As no new houses can be built with the traditional construction method under current law, the high craftsmanship is in danger of becoming a dying art.
