| Research Abstract |
As the number of thatched houses decreases, the methods of thatching have been changing and the number of skilled persons also decreases. Consequently skilled persons (craftsmen) with some specific local thatching technique come to thatch houses of other regions, or thatch even Shinto shrines. In addition, besides the existing interlocal connection of craftsmen, the nationwide network is being built in late years. This study clarified these changes for supplying the current demand of thatching.
