Gassho-Zukuri architecture
Gassho-zukuri is a unique architecture style special for the Hida district of Japan (inland in the mountains).
Gassho-Zukuri houses are recognized for their slanted, thatched gable roofs. The steep slope, angling at about 60 degrees, allows snow to fall off so as to prevent the house from being crushed under the weight. (To further increase its strength, lumber is placed between the crossbeams.) This roof shape resembles a pair of praying hands, which is how the architectural style got its name: Gassho means to join one’s hands in prayer, while Zukuri denotes a type of architecture.
Built from the 1700s through to the early-20th century, the Gassho farmhouse is larger than most others in Japan, and typically has three (and sometimes four) levels. An irori, or traditional open hearth, generally found in the common dining room, is used for heating and cooking.
