IsozakiBukeyashiki (1).jpg


Background

Isozaki-bukeyashiki is an extant bukeyashiki (samurai residence) in the Matsubara neighbourhood of Hikone. Hikone Domain, being centred upon Lake Biwa, maintained a naval force, led by between thirty and fifty-five naval officers depending on the time period. These officers, organized under a fleetmaster, lived with their families besides the Matsubara Port.

The Isozaki family home is the best preserved bukeyashiki of Hikone's feudal era naval officers. The patriarch of the Isozaki family held the rank of Suishu-kogashira (maybe equivalent to a rear admiral or commodore), of which he was one of two in the domain's inland navy. Isozaki-bukeyashiki, dating to 1843, can be viewed from the street but it is still occupied and not open to the public.
