Why are Japanese windows so long and narrow

Japanese windows are long and narrow because they are conducive to lighting and ventilation. Japanese windows are long and narrow, which can introduce light into functional areas with poor lighting through indoor windows, thus improving the lighting and ventilation conditions of the whole space. At this time, the design of indoor windows is the savior to solve the ventilation problem.

Benefits of Japanese window design

Japanese people pay more attention to decoration, so as to increase communication between family members. It may have been a sight of a solid wall, so that the wall decoration has more possibilities and the decoration effect will be better. In addition, Japan often designs indoor windows on the wall between the kitchen and the dining room or the living room, so that mothers can take care of their children when cooking or communicate with their families, which will help to enhance family feelings.

The small size of Japan has led to the small size of their houses, which is also the key factor for them to keep this kind of window design until now. It is precisely because of their limited land area that their residential units are mainly small or long and narrow, so this method of adding windows indoors was born. In addition to its limited area, Japan is also a small house in an earthquake-prone area suitable for living in earthquake areas.
