Description

"Thatched buildings are deeply connected to Japan's history and culture, yet few survive. However, a cluster of villages near Kyoto are keeping this ancient tradition alive. For at least five millennia, Japanese communities have constructed roofs from grass, reeds or straw. However, only a few clusters of this architectural style remain. Some are rural dwellings, while others are places of worship. Thatching, in fact, is closely related to Japan's Shinto religion, with the imperial family at its head. The thatched roofs need to be replaced every 20 or so years (with the old thatch recycled as fertiliser and mulch) and Kayabuki no Sato's heritage status has helped keep Nishio's profession alive." 19/05/2023 Check the full article copying the link: https://www.bbc.com/travel/article/20230518-the-masters-of-a-5000-year-old-craft
