Sept 1, 2009: Thatch

I loves me some thatched roof homes.
I don't have one because they are expensive, high maintenance, a fire hazard, an open invitation to insects & creepy crawlies, goat food, and won't pass code.

I've never seen a thatched roof this thick, but they sure look cool.

The village of the Miyama thatch (Miyama-Kayabukino-sato) is in the place called Kita, Miyama-cho (old Kita, Miyama-cho, Kita-Kuwada-gun, Kyoto), Nantan, Kyoto. It is a colony precious as a place where the private house colony of the thatch roof which left the atmosphere of the traditional nostalgic hometown is seen.
I think this is a community center they're working on.
