Japanese houses have thin walls because of the mild climate and overlapping, slanted, and slightly curved roofs because of the fact that there is plenty of rain especially during early summer. Timber is the traditional building material for Japanese houses. It makes them airy which is important during the humid summer months. The disadvantages are that the houses can be damaged easily by earthquakes and fires. Today, concrete and steel are, of course, widely used as well. the interiors are usually simple and use eath tone colors to give the inside a warm and welcoming feeling.
