Oldl Japanese construction style

Looking at some traditional Japanese building construction. Note the thatched roof, sliding paper doors.
The doors allow light to enter the room when closed and slide open to let in air and view when the weather permits.
Some buildings in the famous garden in Okayama, Kurakoen, have this structural methods.

Although not the rainy season, sadly, the weather was not the best spring can offer. The blooming of
cherry blossoms were delayed this year.
