Narrow House
One of the things I like most about visiting new places is wandering through streets and neighborhoods. I like to get a sense for how a place feels. How the people live.
This is a picture of something that caught my eye as we walked through the streets of Kyoto. Places are notoriously small here. Some restaurants barely hold 15 people. Houses can be as little as 400 square feet. But this one really surprised me.
Aaron and I stopped, and studied this house for a few moments. It is incredibly narrow! So narrow, in fact, that it was unclear whether the house was wider than Aaron was tall. It is entirely possible that he would have been unable to lie down in this house, at least in one direction.
