_________________________________

I got a free vacant house ( akiya ) in the inaka countryside of Shikoku, Japan. It is a Showa-era farmhouse with traditional tatami rooms and fusuma sliding doors. I'm a former career interior designer (American certification/license), and now I'm a foreigner living in Japan. Since I'm getting married, I'll be moving to another akiya soon. Teaser: it's a multi-building property with non-stop mountain spring water and kiwi orchards.
