This is a picture of “Honjin Iwanami House” in Shimosuwa (Nagano prefecture)
It is a valuable building that has been left since Edo period.
At that time, many Daimyos (Rural castle owners) used it as a rest house when they went to Edo.
It is said that Princess Kazunomiya stayed, too.
The garden is very beautiful.
Oh, I wish I could play Koto in this room while feeling a gentle breeze.
I think visitors may feel different tasteful circumstances if they look at the garden while listening to the sound of Koto.
