Nurigome - Nurigome

Japanese: 塗籠 - ぬりごめ
Nurigome - Nurigome

A room with walls all around it. It was used as a bedroom or storeroom. In the Heian period, shinden-zukuri style, the two-ken square corners of the main building of the shinden or tainoya are often nailed together to create a nurigoe. In shinden-zukuri style, which is centered on open partitions such as blinds, shoji (today's sliding doors), and byobu (folding screens), nurigoe surrounded by walls and gable doors (double-opening wooden doors) is probably a remnant of the old custom of using closed, dark places as bedrooms. However, in the mid-Heian period, a curtain stand was placed on the main building or eaves to make it a bedroom, and the nurigoe came to be used as a storeroom. In the "Yugiri" chapter of the Tale of Genji, a special situation is depicted in which a woman uses a nurigoe as a bedroom to avoid suitors. However, in private homes, it was used as a bedroom until the early modern period.

Japanese:

周囲を壁で塗り込めた部屋。寝室や納戸に使われた。平安時代の寝殿造では、寝殿や対屋(たいのや)の母屋(もや)の端2間四方をくぎって塗籠とした例がよくみられる。御簾(みす)、障子(現在の襖(ふすま))、屏風(びょうぶ)など、開放的な間仕切りが中心となる寝殿造の中で、壁や妻戸(両開きの板戸)で囲まれた塗籠は、閉鎖的で暗い場所を寝室とする古くからの習慣が残ったものであろう。しかし、平安中期には母屋や庇(ひさし)に帳台(ちょうだい)を置いて寝所とし、塗籠は納戸として使うようになった。『源氏物語』「夕霧」には、特殊な状況として、女性が求婚者を避けるために、塗籠を寝所とする場面が描かれている。ただし、民家では近世に至るまで寝室として用いられた。
