Takei Residence

Background

The Takei Residence was moved to this location and is the smallest of the three homes on display. The inside of the house displays artifacts from when it was moved. Unlike the thatched roofs of the other houses, this one has a more modern roof. Due to a shortage of the special grass used for these thatch roofs and the expense to recreate it, the thatched roof was replaced when it was moved.

武居武家屋敷　［佐倉］　Takei-Bukeyashiki (Sakura)

One of three samurai houses in Sakura City, the Takei-Bukeyashiki has copper plating on the roof to preserve the old thatched roof beneath. Tools and articles relating to the families daily life are preserved in the home. This type of home, smaller in scale, was for lower-middle class ranking retainers. The interior is cosy and shutting the shōji doors makes the rooms quite dark. Even though this house isn’t so grand, care is taken in hospitality: there is a Zashiki (reception room) and two toilets – one being for the exclusive use of guests. From the hospitality afforded guests, we know how important a samurai's reputation was to him. There are also little models of bukeyashiki displayed in the home.
