There's a book called Japanese homes by Edward Morse which might help.

If possible, please include as much sensory detail as you can. The smell of the wood, texture of the various surfaces, and any other details would help. I'm trying to get a fairly accurate picture of what it would be like to be in one of these houses.
What, sorry?
