The other name of your house.

What’s the most interesting local custom you’ve encountered?

In my hometown, we call all families “yagou”.It is the other name of your house.

It includes hierarchy. For instance, “Sa” is highest, and “Ma” is lowest. That stands for the size of your houses in the old era, maybe Edo period. That is very interesting, I think.
