Machiya
Mainly made out of dark wood, paper, and clay, the architectural style of the traditional Japanese townhouse in Kyoto, the former imperial capital of Japan, is a fundamental part of Japanese cultural heritage. The typical wooden houses in downtown Kyoto are called ‘‘machiya’’, which feature a narrow front with a deep interior and often contain a small courtyard.
