The Back Of Houses

[myfs_88310]

Dear Master Cecil:
It seems that Feng Shui particularly addresses the front of houses. Are there important elements in the back that are potential threats to houses? What are they?
In accordance with the Feng Shui in Japan, the North East is the front ghost gate and the South West is the back ghost gate. They think there should not be protrusion or omission part of the house in those two directions. In addition, trees should not be planted in those two directions. Do those elements exist in Chinese Feng Shui?
Thanks for taking time reading my questions.
Warm Regards,
Anon

In general, water positions behind the house is not ideal.
And also, the main entrance door should not open to a house that is literally built on a slope. For example, the living room etc...

1. Feng Shui originates from China. And it was imported to Japan. Many Japanese practitioners apply 9-Star Ki which is one and the same as Flying Star Feng Shui.
2. A large tree is `dangerous' as it was felt that a spirit may hide in it.
3. Therefore, a large tree e.g. at a specific location in front of a house, may be inauspicious.
4. Even in Singapore, there was a case, where a major bank has a Regional building at their Tampines centre. There is a missing corner at the North-East.
4.1 This section was empty for quite sometime. Later on, when this section of the office was occupied; a senior manager and an officer happened to came early in the morning around 6.30am to work.
4.2 Both of them saw `someone using a computer'. And later, they determined that it was not a living being.
4.3 And from this day, whenever, one switches off the PC on that table, it turns on again without any explanation.
Warmest Regards,
