For Maria Antonia’s #picoftheweek 2020, a look at rustic longing
About the photos: snapped at the “Open-Air Museum of Old Japanese Farmhouses” in Toyonaka, Japan (near Osaka). The museum is a wonderful collection of historic rural houses from different eras offering a glimpse into 18th century rural Japanese life.
My eyes settled on the old house
with it’s battered roof,
thatch thinned to the bone
and a longing came upon me
as I sat upon the aging stoop
my wild heart ached for home

Wow, thatched roofs I’m used to… I live in the Broads region of Norfolk, but I’ve not seen thatched walls before.

Snow country of Japan, 18th century. It gave added insulation I noticed how THICK the reed bundles were. 😉
