# Machi
This file store will be called “Machi”(*) “Machi” is a Japanese word for “village” or “small town”. A village is a rather self-contained thing, but it is small, not like a city.
(*) Until a bikeshed marathon changes the name.
One use case for Machi is for file storage, as-is. However, as Tokyo City is built with a huge collection of machis, so then this project is also designed to work well as part of a larger system, such as Riak Core (perhaps). Tokyo wasn’t built in a day, after all, and definitely wasn’t built out of a single village.
