PLAN
In a Machiya, there is a void space called "Hibukuro," where a vast space, often featuring a distinctive architectural element called "Juntou-sanpeki," is created, revealing the exposed beams intricately arranged in a lattice-like pattern.
The term "Juntou-sanpeki" refers to wooden structures resembling clouds that hover over parts of the building akin to the main ridge beam. Historically, this robust framework showcased the skill of carpenters and symbolized the status of prominent merchant houses.
