12.the house with the inu-yarai or low stockade

Funage・Hayashi

The yarai means simple stockade made of bamboo or log. They arch bamboos and put them together to make it. We often see Japanese – style houses with them in Kyoto. It is low and was originally called the guard against dogs. It can protect the outer wall or the bourd fence from invaders and splashes of water.
