This is part of paper concerning the residental sites of Japanese farm house. In the building structure of farm houses, there are two distribution features in Japan: in the south-western provinces, a dwelling house is generally of small size, but has many affiliated facilities and other various faculties, according the design of peasant farming-life and they are dispersed in each construction. In the north-eastern provinces, however, farm houses are bigger, compared with the formers and all kinds of functions are agglomerated in the main house-particular attention is given to snowy and cold areas. In the former district, there is less disposition to accept social class distinctions among the inhabitants. On the other hand, in the latter area, constructions attached to the farm-house of a poor landed peasant are small in number. It is a matter of general knowledge that wealthy farmers have sufficient establishments on their premises, and their constructions are arranged on the place, in order that they may easily get into communication with the main house, on account of family affairs. In spite of these distinctions, there is little difference between the peasantry and the wealthy farmer, because sheds for field work in farming areas extend on a large scale in each farm. This is a result of farm-land reform, a favorable aspect of rural economy and mechanized farming since the end of the war.In districts along the Japan Sea coast, the main house is the nucleus of the arrangement of construction. In contrast with the district, the front yard centers on the Pacific sea board of Japan. The difference of arable areas in farming, caused by the climatic character, is probably due to the farming job and the stage of the farmers' activity in everyday life.On the grounds of a farm house and its constructional arrangement, local features are formed through the influence of seasonal winds in winter and typhoons in summer. The physiognomy of a house that has an abhorrence of the north-eastern wind, as in China, has no effect on them beyond expections. Owing to the development of agricultural techniques, the structure of construction underwent a conspicuous change in farm house which were carrying on rice crop and sericulture in the thirty year span, 1900-1930. It was the formative period of a local definite type. In addition to this, the family system exerts a far-reaching influence upon constructions, too.
