Thatching in Japan has long been used for the roofs of farm houses, traditional homes, temples and shrines. As modernization increases, thatching has been rapidly disappearing in Japan. Thatched roofs have both heat insulating properties and the material is a sustainable plant resource. Thatch in Japan is typically made of eulalia, rice straw, wheat straw, bamboo grass, cedar bark or water reeds.
