Alternatively known as futatsu-ie “ñ‚‰Æ.@A style of vernacular house *minka –¯‰Æ, with a divided ridge structure *buntougata •ª“Œ^, common during the Edo period in Kumamoto prefecture and the southern part of Fukuoka prefecture. In Kumamoto prefecture, a typical example consisted of two narrow ranges, between 3.5m and 4.5m wide, with thatched roofs, usually hipped, yosemune Šñ“, placed side by side. One range, locally called niwaya ’뉮, contained the earth-floored area *doma “yŠÔ, and the other contained the raised-floor living zone, kyoshitsubu ‹Žº•”, generally made up of a single row of two or three rooms. Together they generated an internal plan that was almost square and only minimally disturbed by the valley gutter *amadoi ‰J”ó, that drained the trough between the two adjacent structures. Surviving examples are generally late or post-Edo period, although houses with a divided ridge have existed in this area since at least the early 17c. In Fukuoka prefecture, the two ranges are often linked by a transverse roof at the front or at the rear in an arrangement called maetanigata futamune-zukuri ‘O’JŒ^“ñ“‘¢.
