A thick straw mat is made of straw with a fine mat sewn on it, about 180 centimeters long and 90 centimeters wide, and the workmanship is extremely fine. The bedchamber is almost empty on the surface during the day, except for a closet on one side where clothes and bedding and other things are placed.

The second characteristic of Japanese house design: flexible and unobstructed free space

The structure of a Japanese house is very simple, consisting of almost only three parts: the floor, the pillars, and the roof, and for those who are a little more sophisticated, there is a corridor under the extended eaves for cooling off or taking a nap. The interior of the rooms are separated by sliding doors that are easy to pull up and open, which makes the seemingly small Japanese-style house seem spacious.
