'Chimado' Windows - Machiya House Features
What’s your favorite part about this room in a traditional Kyoto house?
Ours is the ‘chimado’ window!
“Chimado” windows are usually found in Japanese-style rooms – built low to the ground near the tatami mats.
Originally, they were known as “sweep-out windows,” as these were openings through which dirt was swept out. Today, they are rarely used in such a way, but are instead used to let light into a room or to provide a different view of the garden!
Enjoy this window while staying at Shakudo-an Machiya House in Kyoto City, Japan!
