What are the characteristics of Japanese residential buildings?

Clean and quiet is my first impression of Japanese folk houses. Japanese folk houses pay attention to the integration of architecture and external natural environment, as well as the layout of western-style structures. Therefore, Japanese folk houses give people a delicate feeling, just like a carefully carved work of art. At the same time, Japanese folk houses will also put a cultural coat on the building, so many national elements can be seen in traditional Japanese folk houses.
