Do you want a Japanese castle?

Did you check this post? Nobody seems to have rented it yet. Then I found this today! Do you want to buy a Japanese castle? I can tell you 41,000,000yen is not so bad, just regular apartments (you can watch many movies here) in Tokyo cost more than it. I suppose the castle would be possible to move.

Yes! I love to see architecture and real estate sites. Actually my friend calls it architecture porn. I enjoy them with a thin smile as a guy enjoys a porn site, he he he. I love funny architecture like I wrote about in these posts Thin buildings, Thomason, Ugly building in Tokyo. They are pricey jokes for me.

And good design has healing power, I think so. This is one link of cool house designs. My taste is simple like this, this, this. We say "生活感のない場所". It means I like the place where "I don't need to sense temperatures and smells of everyday life." And I think better of Japanese houses because of how they use light. Paper screens of Japanese style can make warm and soft light like this and this. And if I have my house, I want to make it small. Because it will be easier to clean. (Well, I am a clean freak. ha.) Look at these tiny houses. Cute!

Hi there
Yeah, Marco you are right. I was wrong, it is 41,000,000yen!! I will buy it if it is 4.1million yen and sell it soon.

But... "4100 man en" (http://www.shimada-jyutaku.co.jp/info/info_pay.html) are 41 millions, not 4,1! :-) Am I right?!
