Hingashi lore and housing
Howdy--
I managed to get a Shirogane plot and have been trying to make an authentic Hingashi looking house and I was curious about a couple of the things I was seeing...
I noticed there was a bit of difference between aesthetics between the housing options for the Hingan plots. The Mokuzo style and the Kura-zukuri all seemed to fall within the style that is seen throughout Kugane.
The outlier in style seemed to be the Nanpu style--and its described as being styled as "southern Hingan"... so some questions:
1. What is southern Hingan? I had thought that Kugane was already at the south of Hingashi. Is southern Hingan a place?
2. The style when you look closely at Nanpu doesn't look quite like what you would see in Kugane (Nanpu has a lot more angled points at the roof edges). What is Nanpu inspired off of in the real world? Is it more Chinese architecture?
