See that tiny blue house wedged in between the white and red ones? It was built in 1830 and is only 7 feet wide. (And here I complain about my family room being too narrow!) The Spite House, as it's called, has two stories but only 325 square feet. It even appears to be considerably shorter than its neighbors.

The "Spite House" - 7 feet wide, has two stories but only 325 square feet - built by the owner of the two adjacent houses to keep loiterers out of "his" alley - is actually a fairly good-sized house by Japanese standards. In fact, my brother-in-law's kitchen is smaller than the one in this house. Everything is relative, isn't it?

Installing is Easy!
