Samurai's Summer House Exterior

To tell the truth, the design for this house is very loosely based on the Japanese Edo period.  I haven't held strictly to realism because there were so many beautiful oriental things I wanted to include.  Therefore, the overall house is simply what it is........my little oriental get-away.

I took the house off it's landscaped base to be able to get clean pictures of the house itself.

    

In the entry way, you can see the Buddha shrine and a tiny pair of geta by the door.  The bamboo door leads into the main living area.
