Margaret Patterson the struggle is real

My family is from Kyoto and we still have our *very* old house there. It’s a lot older than most (it’s been in the family for 4 or 5 generations by now) and a lot of people have told us to demolish it as old Japanese houses are not very appreciated by Japanese people. But for me it’s a connection to the family and something that I don’t want to get rid of.

The straight door roof and window style is from the Chinese Tang Dynasty And Korean Baekjae. It may seem cozy because it's a wooden house, but it's a great place to live with huge molds and bugs. and be vulnerable to fire. The same is true for the houses of common people in Southeast Asia and China countryside. As you may know, most of the fungus blooms on the white doors of Japan. It turns yellow quickly. It is very difficult to manage unless it is replaced. Most Japanese are reluctant to live. Most of those areas are tourist destinations. So Many japanese want to live in Tokyo.

It's the warmth of the natural materials that appeals to me - the woods, the fabrics, the way light is filtered, the incorporation of a tiny bit of nature (the small personal garden) into the design. The only issue that would give me pause would be the soundproofing - I don't want to live in a place where the older building materials/techniques are unable to filter out the modern level of sound we inflict upon ourselves and each other.

Why don’t they build new ones to look traditional in every way possible but still meet current building standards? That way they can still preserve the architectural culture. I know it’s not the same but it’s much better than a soulless modern build (in my opinion).

Align yourself with preservation groups, wherever you live, and fight to retain some of the unique flavor of the places you live in. We're letting development turn us all into vast cookie cutter metropolises that are indistinguishable no matter where you are. I've traveled a lot in my job, and more and more often, I find you can check in to your hotel, drop your stuff and head out for a walk, and, unless the population is visibly different, you can't even tell what part of the world you are in, much less what city.

4:06 gorgeous instrument, I replayed that like 100 times

Something I really like about kyo-machiya is that it doesn't feel like turning them into a business or cafe isn't really a shame, like it can be for old houses in the west or even non-machiya traditional homes in Japan, because they were always intended for that purpose.

Kyoto is the most beautiful place i've ever been to.I often pinch myself because it felt like a dream being there. It actually was the first time I had been excited about life in years. I have a new understanding for material and space now.

I'm just so glad there's so much Japanese history and culture content on KZread. It's been nearly five years since my first visit and it left a lifetime impression. We spent one day with a lovely tour guide in Nara, saw some great sites in Kyoto and Osaka, and basically took the trains to crowded places in Tokyo. I would love to go again for a few months and soak it all in. First trip was 10 days, just not enough time!

I'm enamored with the kyomachia homes featured in this video. 🏯 They're becoming precious, and rare jewels within the city. I'm pleased to know that people are trying to preserve the history of these homes. It would be a dream come true to own one. They're absolutely stunning! Thank you for sharing such a beautifully done video.🌱

coming from a tropical country, That heater in 5:59 is my MVP when I wen to Japan during early Spring.

I love the simplistic peaceful calming designs...and the gardens are fantastic. The culture calls to me!!

1:14 that street looks like heaven. It is so painful to watch how BEAUTIFUL JAPAN is! OMG

When I was just in Japan 2 weeks ago I stayed in one of these houses while in Kyoto. My friends and I stayed in Tokyo, Kyoto, Osaka and Hiroshima and this style in Kyoto was by far all of our favorite house. We still aren't sure if it was two houses before because it was skinny but kind of long with two separate full bathrooms, washers, and kitchens. The rooms almost mirrored each other lengthwise and were separated by a peaceful garden in the middle. But a hallway connected the two halves. Either way, this style house was awesome and if I ever move to Japan like I want to then I'll definitely look for this style house in Kyoto Edit: 3:55 he answered my question lol

The use of space, materials and light is soo cool with any type of old building. I love how these are traditional buildings but because Kyoto has always been a dense city that they had to find solutions to problems we still have today.

Well since the video wished that we share what the area we live in across the world looks like i'd be happy to oblige! I actually live in a fairly traditional Swedish apartment nowadays in an area called Hushagen that was built to house workers for the local steel mill SSAB in Borlänge, Dalarna prefecture. After the 1910's it was made into apartments for regular citizens of the town that had sprung up around the mill. The architecture is traditionally swedish with wood houses, painted in coppersulfate red dye from the local mines with white cornerplanks and windows. The windows are two piece, dual windows with midsections and the roofs are covered with orange ceramic tiles. Each house consists of between two to twelve apartments surrounded by trees and a lot of outhouses that were probably used both for toolsheds, carriages, woodstorage and lavoratories. The apartment houses are a bit away from eachother with green lawns and gravel roads inbetween. The residents of the apartments have full control and responsibility for the gardens outside as well so that's a great plus.

Thank you for doing this! My dream house is just like this!

@@kwengilangos1120 hi do you have boyfriend ?

oh~ I'm in love! I'll definitely have to stay in one when I visit Japan! I always wondered if these had a special name, since they seem so distinctive, and since they seem like they're in the background of any historical or traditional area. Thanks for the video, Greg!

Hi Greg, just going back and watching some of your previous content. I really enjoyed this video of these beautiful, traditional houses. I think it’s great that people want to invest time and effort (and obviously money) into preserving these iconic buildings and tastefully adding modern comforts to make for a pleasant living environment. Thank for sharing this excellent video. Best wishes to you and your family

Very beautiful home! So nice that people are restoring these dwellings. Love the bonsai tree the owner grew.

Hi Greg, thanks for sharing such great content and also making me go down a Kyo-machiya wormhole on the hachise website.

Thank you for this! I love Kyoto and traditional Japanese homes. I have only been to Japan twice, but I had a strong desire to stay long-term each time. There is something beautiful and magical about Japan…I just cannot explain it.

Mahri Beneda yes, but it’s not all of Mexico. Mexico is so beautiful, but some areas are so damn corrupt and it ruins everything. My father is from Durango and we have family in Monterrey.

Nice info about Kyo-Machiya :) It's a simple and cute house. Thanks!

Beautifully made video with such care and attention to detail. I think just as these people have chosen to restore and pay homage to the natural history of each place and design, so you have wonderfully captured a representation of the very ideals they strive for. Thanks for making this incredible work.

Such a great video. Thanks for sharing👍🏽
