- Abstract
This paper summarizes previous research on Shiba-mune (Japanese turf house), and the distribution characteristics of their roof plants were clarified through field surveys. There are about 600 Shiba-mune in eastern Japan, mainly in Iwate and Aomori prefectures, of which 90% are in Iwate. In all prefectures except Iwate and Aomori, most of Shiba-mune were designated as cultural properties and have been preserved. However, some of the buildings designated as cultural properties could no longer maintain their Shiba-mune. As for the distribution of roof plants, sod was found in all areas where Shiba-mune were distributed. On the Pacific side of the Tohoku region and in the inland mountainous areas, lilies, tawny daylilies, green onions, and Chinese chives were observed. Roof iris was seen in the Kanto Plain area. Iwahiba was seen around the Kanto Mountains.
