Nomura Residence

Information

Nomura Residence is the only residence which is open to the public in Nagamachi quarter. The old house surrounded by traditional tile-roofed mud walls was the residence of Nomura Denbei-Nobusada, the Maeda clan’s samurai warrior of the mid-19th century. The house is famous for its elaborate rooms and Japanese garden. A monochrome landscape painting on Fusuma sliding doors drawn by a Kano school artist Sasaki Senkei, Shoji paper doors decorated with diamante, and a compartment ceiling made of cypress are culturally valuable. The Japanese garden was ranked in the third place in the US magazine "The Journal of Japanese Gardening" in 2003.
