In Cheju Island of South Korea,stone walls surrounding houses and on borders of fields are commonly seen. They are built against strong winds by winter monsoon and typhoon. The stones supplied from basaltic volcano are used for building walls. Because the stones are very heavy,the walls are very thin in Cheju Island,if we compare them with Nansei Islands of Japan,in where the stone walls are made by coral limestone. The stone walls surrounding the houses are constructed against the strong winds for protecting dry-grass-roofs of the houses,which are very weak for the strong winds. The style of stone walls belongs to "Ryukyu Style",which is characterized by the round corners. From the stand point of the cultural areas of stone walls,Cheju Island belongs to the region as same to Nansei Islands,Japane,because the corners of stone walls surrounding the houses are always round along the roads. Sangizumi,which is a very popular style of stone wall corners in Honsyu,in Japan,is not popular in Cheju Island.
