In the center of the room is a large earthen floor that runs north to south. The earthen floor serves as a place to work and to store the warmth of the wood-burning stove, and it also allows a cool breeze to pass through in summer. The grass roof prevents extreme heat radiation from the roof, and the kamado, Goemon bath, and wood-burning stove make it possible to live a life that does not rely on infrastructure.
