kazuki 被き | ||||||
KEY WORD : architecture / folk dwellings | ||||||
An enclosed
room generally equivalent to a bedchamber (see *nando
納戸, *choudai 帳台) though
in rare cases it functioned like a living room *dei
出居 or an anteroom tsugi-no-ma 次ぎの間 in traditional vernacular houses
*minka 民家. Found in
the vicinity of Takayama 高山 in the Hida 飛騨 district of Gifu prefecture.
In buildings roofed with boards *itabuki
板葺, the kazuki was usually the central room in the rear part of the
building, but sometimes served as the anteroon to a guestroom *zashiki
座敷. In the town houses *machiya
町家 of Takayama, it was a room at the upper hand *kamite
上手 of the house beyond the main living room *oue
御上. Here it was closely associated with women : it was the sleeping and
dressing room of the mistress of the house, and was also the room for childbirth
and nursing. |
