Henmi Residence

Background

The Henmi Residence is one of the well preserved samurai homes that is still live in. It has obviously been modernized to some extent and the rough clay walls of the house that I've seen in other photos have now been plastered over with what looks like similar plaster (like shikkui) to the outer walls. In the back on the right of one of the photos you can barely see a 2 story building. This is actually a sericulture (silkworm breeding) school that was established by Henmi Torao in 1891 (Meiji 24). Henmi himself studied sericulture in Nagano and Gunma and brought the knowledge back to Tsuyama to help develop the local economy. The Henmi family still lives here today.
