Our New House
|
Our new house is now 90% completed.
A little bit of interior is not yet, like handrails, book-shelves, clothe
hanging poles...so on.
TV is not yet, telephone is not yet, but WIFI is already OK.
A small wine cellar is installed, and almost everyday my husband is enjoying meeting some guests with a glass of wine.
The most important furniture, beds have not yet arrived, so we can not
sleep in the new house.
Maybe in the middle of November, we will move in.
So, today, I will show you only the outside pictures.
I hope you like this genuine Japanese house.

| You see the wooden shutters (Amado) which covers the glass windows at the time of storms. |
 |
 |
When amado is opened, the house looks like this.
The garden in front is the end of Yoyokaku's garden.
Our private garden over it is not yet planted. |
One small pine tree, one taller camellia tree, one more pine tree
over there...
In the due time, new trees will come. |

 |
The main carpenter Mamoru talks with my husband about the details
of the house. |
Inside the glass windows, there are shoji screens.
Snow white, and looks very clean. But they are easy to break. I must be
careful when I clean the room. |
 |
 |
A light, a chair. a stool
It seems that these items are the owner of the house.
Over the garden, you see one part of Yoyokaku guest rooms. |
Maybe later, I will show you more details of the house.
We will retire and will live a quiet life here, looking at the garden of
Yoyokaku.
This is not only a retiring home, but it is a greeting room for the guests of Yoyokaku.
We will be very happy if some guests walk around the garden, and at the
north end will find this small house, look in, wondering what this house
is for, then, my husband will welcome them to a glass of wine.
Please visit us!
See you next month! |
