Kominka (traditional farmhouse)Storehouse / barn
Description
This is the family home of my late wife. The house was inherited by my parents-in-law from the previous generation and was built in 1881 (Meiji 14), giving it a history of more than 100 years. I would like to pass it on to someone who is interested in architecture and who will value the town of Onan and its local environment.
It has been more than 20 years since I first visited Onan. I read the book "Village Pride" by Hidehito Teramoto, and with nostalgic feelings I also made a furusato nozei (hometown tax) donation. I would be glad if my late wife's family home could be of use in some way to preserve the local environment. I do not want this house to end up as just a vacant house in my generation; I want to set a path for it to be put to good use in the future. I hope it can be of use to people across Japan who are interested in kominka (traditional old house) architecture and in revitalizing rural areas.
The house was built in 1881, and the beams and other timbers are 100-year-old aged wood. The original kamado (traditional cooking stove) from that time remains. Gas can of course be used. The house appears to have been renovated several times, and the toilet has been converted to a flush toilet. The Buddhist altar is finished in gold leaf and lacquer, and could serve as an interior feature as it is. I have not seen the house for many years, so I expect some parts are damaged, but it is currently managed under the furusato nozei vacant-house management program.

今は亡き妻の実家です。この家は義父母が先代より受け継いで明治14年に建築された100年以上の歴史のある古民家です。建築に関心のある方で、邑南町と地域環境を大切にしてくださる方にお譲りしたいと思います。
邑南町を訪れたのは、もう20年以上も前でしょうか。寺本英仁著書「ビレッジプライド」を拝見し、懐かしい思いで「ふるさと納税」もさせて頂きました。亡き妻の実家も何らかの形で地域環境保全に役立てて頂けるならいいのですが。私の代でこの家が空き家などではなく、将来に生かせる道筋をつけたいと思っています。全国の古民家建築に関心のある方、地方活性化に関心のある方に役立てていただけたらと思います。
明治14年に建築され、梁などは100年の古木が使用されています。釜戸は当時のものが残っています。勿論ガスは使用できます。何度か改築されたようで、トイレは水洗になりました。仏壇は金箔漆塗りでそのままインテリアにもなるかと思います。私も長年見ておりませんので傷んでいるところもあると思いますが、現在ふるさと納税空き家管理にて管理されています。
