Akagawara Housing
9:35 AM Edit This 0 Comments »
We can not see many "Akagawara" Houses: flat buildings with red tiles of roofs especially in cities in Okinawa these days. It is a traditional house in Okinawa. I love the color of roof so much, for I love bright colors and it maches with our subtropical climate! I found an interesting fact when I searched for Akagawara houses on the internet. the color of roof was gray before the 18 century and then it became red roof after. However, it is more inexpensive to burn a red tile than gray one. When we bake the red tile, we don't need to bake a long time that's why we can save cost of wood fuels. I wish I could live in that kind of house someday.
