World Cultural Heritage-Baishan Historical Village
It is an example of the complete preservation of Japanese traditions. By planting mulberry and developing sericulture, the village has been able to continue in the mountainous area that has been almost forgotten by human beings in the long historical process. In order to reduce the pressure of snow in cold winter, residents increased the inclination of the roof and built a unique double-decker thatched house with steep slopes. This kind of wooden house is generally 18 m long and 10 m wide, with 3-4 floors, and a large family generally lives there. Because the shape of the roof is very similar to the way that Japanese people put their hands together when they worship God, it is called "palm-folding house" or "triangle house". In addition to the significance of economic prosperity, these villages have shown the world the industrious quality and wisdom of ancient laborers in adapting to the environment and developing the economy.
