ENGAWA

Wooden Veranda

An engawa is a covered hallway or verandah made of wood, which extends on the side of a house, typically facing a yard or garden. Some engawa are equipped with sash sliding doors or storm shutters; so that by opening and closing these doors, the engawa can be either indoors or outdoors. It is a structure very unique to traditional Japanese houses.
