What are the characteristics of Japanese houses?

Building materials imitate nature

Japan's building materials are generally made of industrially produced man-made materials that imitate nature. For example, floor tiles are made of high-strength, non-polluting plastic and then embossed with a variety of wood patterns, about a few centimeters thick, and can be shipped in rolls to the destination when needed, and then cut to the desired size near the size of the room to be paved. Due to the advanced technology and realistic pattern, this floor tile looks like wood. In addition, the interior walls do not need to be painted at all, all wallpaper. This wallpaper is not only beautiful, low-cost, and has the advantage of not wrinkled, not moisture, up to ten years will not fall off discoloration, replacement is also very convenient. Doors, windows, roofs, floors, and other building materials are available in a variety of sizes and colors. Japan has a large population, a small land area, and a scarcity of resources, so it is particularly resource-conscious. All of the wood used to build houses is imported, while the country's forests are protected.
