eastern environmental research - Traditional japanese home

Although I had already started making props for the environment, I hadn't really seen much of what a traditional Japanese would possible look like, and if certain objects were made, where would they be positioned on the environment?. In these first two examples below, they both show the natural look of the interior of these homes through real- life.

These other three picture are prime examples of traditional homes in Japanese environments, but the difference here is these environments are built for game use /architecture/ advertisement by a 3D environment artist. As you can see the use of furniture is kept to a minimum, but still keeps you immersed from its realistic stand-point .
