JapanHomes025 ARRANGEMENT OF SQUARE TILES ON SIDE OF A HOUSE, From the original book: "In the cities, the outside walls of more durable structures, such as warehouses, are not infrequently covered with square tiles, a board wall being first made, to which the tiles are secured by being nailed at their corners. These may be placed in diagonal or horizontal rows, — in either case an interspace of a quarter of an inch being left between the tiles, and the seams closed with white plaster, spreading on each side to the width of an inch or more, and finished with a rounded surface. This work is done in a very tasteful and artistic manner, and the effect of the dark-gray tiles crossed by these white bars of plaster is very striking (fig. 25).", Diagram showing square tiles, on the diagonal, nailed at all four corners and grouted in mounds over the joins and nails.
