Japanese Brick House

Jan

Traditional Japanese houses are made from wood, or a wood frame with the spaces filled with bamboo & clay. However, nowadays almost all houses are either concrete, or use a wooden frame covered by steel panels.

Brick houses are very rare in Japan. One reason is that they can be badly damaged by earthquakes. However, today I saw one being built not far from my home. I was surprised.

I hope it lasts longer than 30 years - the average lifespan of a modern Japanese house.
