The house is done but the whole household are kept busy for sometime, pasting papers over the “Shoji” (doors of rooms), and many other little jobs are waiting to be finished before the family may comfortably enjoy the new house.
This is one of the best rooms, intentionally made for receiving guests. Artistic and expensive woods are used for the poles and floor of the “Tokonoma,” or, place of honour. Chosen woods are used for the ceiling. Also, much pains is taken for choosing “Shoji” paper doors for the rooms and “Fusuma” (paper doors between rooms,) to make the room an artistic and refined one.
The house is completed. It is a fine representation of a characteristic Japanese house.
