Minka

Do you know about Minka?  Minka can be translated into "country house" or " farmhouse."  It has doma, "earth floor" and a thatched roof.  An earthen floor section is used for utility and animal stalls. A fire pit without chimney are located in a kitchen area.   The picture below is an example.

Minka is disappearing in Japan.
