Villagers in
this renowned UNESCO World Heritage site came together to re-thatch the roof of

（日本岐阜縣）知名的聯合國教科文組織世界遺產的白川鄉的村民，5月13日在暌違5年後首度一同為（村內的）1幢多層屋的屋頂換茅草。
The traditional
re-thatching of the roof of a “gassho-zukuri” structure was undertaken by a
mutual assistance group formed by local residents called “Yui,” which has
helped preserve the settlement and plays a vital role in the re-thatching of
roofs.
「合掌造」結構的傳統的屋頂換草工程，是由被稱為「結」、由當地居民組成的1個互助團體來執行，該團體協助保護該聚落，以及在屋頂換草上扮演重要角色。
Around 150
villagers of Shirakawa-go threw themselves into the effort.

The lack of

the Yui.
