On the west side of Jomon Village, the Kofun period village building-a stilt warehouse and dwelling about 1300 years ago-has been restored. It seems to be a powerful building. There is no wall in the house, and the basic structure that the pillars standing in the pit are surrounded and supported by the pillars that support the roof is the same as in the Jomon period, but the pillars in the center are paired and become more solid, and the beams It is a remarkable evolution that there is a mechanism like a framework such as and girders. There is a stilt warehouse near the settlements. This is a special warehouse for storing surplus food collected from the village, and wooden walls surround the four sides under the gable roof, and the raised floor prevents the invasion of moisture, water, mice, etc. and allows food to be stored. I am. This was a decisive evolution compared to the Jomon period, and the architecture surrounded by walls and roofs would have been applied and developed as a special building for governance. The influential people may have become the political leaders of the settlement. Seen from the outside, the upper part of the thatched roof is horizontally long and can be said to be the prototype of the main building, and it has the shape of a gabled roof as a whole. Best of all, stilt warehouses are designed to keep out moisture and water and keep out rats and other animals. Above all, influential people have surplus food that should be stored for a long period of time, which means that there is a clear stratification or class differentiation within the settlement. Stilt warehouses with more advanced construction techniques appear to symbolize the wealth and authority of their owners, their high status and political leadership.

I came to Narai-juku, so I took a detour. Reproduction of the Kofun period dwellings and excavated dwellings scattered on the vast site, changes in the timber assembly of each era in the dwelling, etc. I understand the changes in the times. I learned a lot.
