#16【Tatami】Living Alone in Japanese Old Folk House (Kominka Solo Life)

The tatami looks wonderful. New curtains really finish that room. Nicely done!

The house is coming together lovely! Really enjoy watching your videos.

Great video, I feel relaxed and I learned some things. Thank you very much.

The tatami looks great. I had no idea newspaper was used to insulate the floor. I remembered old folks in the countryside used to place newspaper under the mattress to keep the bed warm as I watched the video. The new room is coming together nicely. 😊

I'm very happy to have a deep view on the flooring of a Japanese old style house for the first time of my life ! 😀 I can state through my own cleansing experience that cleaning the ground is often a nice physical activity. 😄💪🏻 I would clean exactly the same way as you, so I just admire your method. 👍🏻 Anyway, I'm very happy to discover what the ground under the tatami looks like ! 🤗 I'm very surprised to realize that newspapers are used as insulator between tatami and ground. 📰😯 Anyway, I love the refurbishment of the tatami that gives this room all its splendor back and suits wonderfully with the table. 💙 I also love the restoration of the curtains as the new ones add a touch of modernity and suit perfectly with the interior design of the room. 🙌🏻 You deserved the generous and delicious dish for all these achieved tasks, Toto san ! 😊🥢

All I could think of is that scene from Totoro when you started cleaning the floors. I'd love to live in a house like this!!

Great vid😁

You just unlocked a memory My grandad also made his house. It was a stilt house, made of wood (I still can smell it). It was common to polish the floor with coconut husk. Everything looked normal, unless you looked under the dining table, there was a hole on the floor, so we could see the dog or the hens running around and we feed them (against my grandad will 😅). Sadly, after he die, the house deteriorated even more. The wood was full of termites so my dad and his siblings decided to tear it down and build a new one, but with cement. You are lucky to be able to renovate your grandparents house, preserve the previous memories and make new ones. Thanks for making the videos and sharing with us. I hope you can enjoy your house for a long, long time.

😊 the start of the video reminds me My neighbor Totoro

I love the new fresh look with the new refurbished tatami mats. I would humbly recommend that you being so talented that you tackle the task of filling the gaps of the floor. You will have less humidity on the tatami mats and the house in general. Good job renovating the great traditional Japanese house! I love it. Every time you go to the renovated kitchen I am in awe how nice it looks and that you did it on your own. My admiration from Puerto Rico in the Caribbean- the other side of the planet!!!👍👍👍

Chihiro!

The new tatami mats really do make it look like a new house. And the grey curtains are beautiful. Can't wait to see what the newly painted, newly curtained room looks like when you have finished it. You are doing an amazing job so far. 😀.

The new tatami looks great, I like the tatami room with the table. I am always inspired to do DIY and cool nice meals from your videos!

床の穴は大丈夫だったんですか？ うちも築48年、床がプカプカします。 ただ高齢の母がいて、業者が入ることを嫌がるので、床はプカプカのまま。怖い😅 洋室、どんどん綺麗になっていきますね。頑張って💪
