Abstract
At the present, people in Japan feel toroublsome about the entrances in the urban houses. Because they have been required the two roles both as the storage and as the space for the visitors in spite of their smallness. I found the process why, from when, and how the entrances became small and these two roles have been required by reading the discourses for and from the people since World War II in the general magazines and books. Then I discuss that the entrances could be worthy space if we are liberated from the thinking of “to take for granted”.
