Even now, there is still a strong custom against positioning any gate or storage room, or any place using water such as a kitchen, rest room, or bath, in the direction coinciding with the kimon as seen from the center of the house.
現在でも、家の中央から見て鬼門にあたる方角には、門や蔵、および水屋・便所・風呂などの水を扱う場所を置くことを忌む風習が強く残っている。
