One of

was established in the Momoyama period. It developed from the Heian period
*shinden-zukuri 寝殿造
and the subsequent warrior residences *buke-zukuri
武家造. The basic building structure consisted of a core area omoya
主屋, surrounded by aisles *hisashi
廂, around which additional aisles *magobisashi
孫廂, were sometimes added. These areas were separated by various types of
sliding door: See *shouji
障子 *sugido 杉戸, *fusuma
襖, *mairado 舞良戸. Shoin-zukuri
was characterized by square pillars kakubashira 角柱, wall to wall
tatami-matted flooring *tatami
畳, and in the main reception room the decorative alcove *tokonoma
床の間, staggered shelves *chigaidana
違い棚, and built-in desk tsukeshoin 付書院. Ornate sliding doors known
as *choudaigamae
帳台構え led to the sleeping room *choudai-no-ma 帳台の間.
The Japanese house also acquired the entrance hall *genkan
