In Korowai history, a climbing house is a house built by Korowai youths to enjoy amazing scenery. A place for shouting or voices from above.
The climbing house was never used for housing. For the Korowai people, a climbing house is a house that is not really needed. At that time the Korowai used to build this type of climbing house because there were requests from film crews and tourists.
For example, in March 2010, two houses built on the tallest tree were made for two customers. The first was for a group of German tourists and the second was built for a group of Japanese film crews who were going to make a documentary for Fuji TV which they called Unbelievable!
The booming news about the exotic Korowai house over the last twenty years is part of a global cultural phenomenon that presents a 'primitive' style appearance as something that's very popular in the market.
