Old building in Okayama

I walked to my mother's tomb with my father in new year day. There were beautiful Japanese traditional old house between the tomb and father's home.
The house had been rich man's. Who had a very wide ground around there.
But, nobody stay there now. And the house has been broken day by day. I thought we should keep it as a important ruins. But, there was no money to keep it. In these days, it is difficult for Japan or Okayama prefecture.
