    Miyagi Pref. Shiogamashi Miyamachi 5-5
    A historic building located in Shiogama City a 10 minute walk from Hon-Shiogama Station on the JR Senseki Line built in 1924 by Fumihira Kamei, the first president of the Kamei Corporation. Of high historic value, the building combines old fashioned Japanese architecture with Western architectural styles, incorporating art nouveau and session styles in the exterior design in a way that is difficult to replicate with modern plastering techniques. The retro Taisho period structure is open to the general public and is also used as the main venue for events such as the Hina Meguri doll festival and the Shiogama-sama Kamigami no Hana Akari lantern festival.

    つい最近までお住まいだったらしく、なんとか昔からの部分を公開してます。雨戸もないし、これからの保存はたいへんそうです。また、最近までお住まいだった方も、これだけ風通しがよい建物では寒かったと推察します。
