NPO日本民家再生協会／Japan MINKA Revival Association

NPO日本民家再生協会（JMRA）は、日本の伝統的な民家を次代へ引き継ぐことを理念として掲げ、活動しています。貴重な日本の民家が失われようとしている今、こちらの動画などで、日本の住文化に興味を持っていただきたいと思っています。

Today, many minka*, after having survived under years of rough weather with many generations of families, are being demolished and lost due to changes in economics and social structures and also in lifestyles. Yet, traditional Japanese minka embody the dwelling culture of Japan as they are built with local materials and techniques by local people.

To preserve these minka, Japan Minka Revival Association (JMRA) has been engaging in various activities under the philosophy of “passing minka to the next generation” since its foundation in September 1997.

*“Minka” refers to a form of traditional Japanese housing that was once the primary form of Japanese residence.
