The purpose of this research is to clarify the process of transformation in framing of the traditional timber houses in the area of Rokuseicho, Ishikawa prefecture. Analyzing the vertical and the horizontal sections of the local framing system called "Sashimono-zukuri", the composition of unit frames indicates that the beams called "Sashimono" have been playing major role to make the main frame rigid horizontally, and the "Sashimono-zukuri" of "Chanoma" has been maintained as the core of the main frame. The arrangement of horizontal elements has been changed in various patterns to enable the space to expand both horizontally and vertically.
