This wood-floored room is a remodeled tatami room. Yamamoto had painstakingly applied layer after layer of lacquer to the floor himself. The family collection of pottery and glassware is at home here. The chest shown in the background is known as a kuruma-dansu, and was made during the end of the Edo Period (1600–1867). It has built-in wheels, which allows it to be easily rolled out of danger in the event of fire.

This lower level, earthen-floored space (doma) was originally meant to serve as both a kitchen and a workshop, and still retains a wood-fired cooking stove. The curved beam on the rear wall shows an example of the rough timbers often used in minka.
