the residence of an old Japanese scholar

    last year I went to Matusaka.There was a residence of Motoori Norinaga who is a Japanese national scholar during the Edo period (1603-1837).

      this is an old residence of an old scholar, we preserve as a tradition.
      we live in a modern house than this one, of course.

      When I worked in Japan we had a tatami room for naps which looked sort of like this. makes me sleepy just looking at it.

      I miss old japanese house. Last time, when I visited 弘前, I have been 太宰治's 斜陽館 . I feel good there.

      would have been nice if there was some contrasting and focus.

      @guru family
      thank you for your comment! this one was taken in Southern region of Japan and have never been to 東北region expect 山形and福島.
      斜陽館of Dazai must be newer than this one but nice to visit.

      @robot
      thank you for your comment!

      @jam343
      そうそう、足を投げ出したい佇まいですね。

      @Blue Silver
      now it's a kind of museum next to this residence.
