Note about the title of this image: I mentioned to a friend that my house has a mildly ridiculous amount of doors and he said "oh, so you live in Mordor." Mordor is pronounced like "more door" and is a mythical place from Lord of the Rings. Truly hilarious.
My apartment is great. I have so much space there's a room that contains only a coat rack and some extra furniture. I do love my apartment, but there are so many doors here it seems a little excessive.
Now, there is some rhyme and reason to these doors. Japan generally doesn't have central heating and relies on heating individual rooms. This is best achieved if you can isolate specific rooms and put a kerosene or electric heater in there. My living room has a wall heater but it simply is not strong enough against near freezing temperatures to keep both my kitchen and living room warm, so I ended up closing the big sliding doors between the living room and the kitchen. I let my heaters heat the living room and tatami room (I sleep there) and let the rest of my house become a refrigerator. I leave pretty much all other doors in the house open at all times.
Seriously this wall is about 75% door. And there's another door perpendicular to the wall between them. How many doors do you need for a 2m(6.5 foot) hallway XD
As you may notice, there are three sets of sliding glass doors in the three rooms on one side of my house. Nice and consistent, but each of those sliding glass doors is covered in a different way. The tatami room doors are covered with sliding paper and wood doors and black curtains with stars on them, the living room doors with a screen curtain and green vine curtains, and the extra room doors are covered with those terrible pull blinds. Why are they all different?!? Who decided to put different window coverings on each door? Also that's a lot of doors to the outside. I'm not sure why I would need so many doors leading outside (a total of 4 entrances into my house), but it is quite good for fire safety.
