Single-wing, tile-roofed wood-frame house
All the housing regulations of the Ryukyu Kingdom were abolished in 1889. After long years of prohibition against their use, red tiles started to roof farmhouses all over Okinawa, creating the now-familiar look of Okinawan villages. Modeled after a farmhouse that once stood at Madanbashi in Tomigusuku Village, this wooden tile-roofed house is built in a Japanese style called nuchija and consists of a single building. Characteristically, the house is without a veranda and is equipped with eaves on the east and south sides designed to block direct sunlight and to prevent driving rains from coming inside.
