Description

In this study, we analyzed the data obtained from our questionnaire survey of the families living in independent custom-made houses in the Tokyo metropolitan area. The number, location and function of the tatami rooms were investigated with a view to examining the future prospect of tatami rooms in the area. The results are as follows: About 7% of the families have no tatami room. About half of those families had to abandon the idea of having a tatami room due to restrictions such as the scale of the house or building cost. It appears that younger families have fewer tatami rooms. About 57% of the families have one tatami room. The majority of them arranged the tatami room connected to the western style living room to serve as guest room. About 28% of the families have two tatami rooms. Both location and function of tatami room are varied; a combination of using them as Japanese style living room (next to western style living room) and as master bedroom (separated from other rooms) is often found. About 30% of the families have two spaces for relaxation, i.e., a western style living room and a Japanese style living room. In other words, a tatami room functions as the second living room.
