    Gunma Pref. Isesakishi Kuruwachou 31-4
    This western-style building is a designated Important Cultural Property of Isesaki City, Gunma Prefecture, and is located directly next to the Honmachi Nishi bus stop of Isesaki City community bus. It was originally built as a Western-style residence by the Imamura family, doctor for domain in 1912. It was later bought by Mr. Kurobane, who converted it into the Kurobane clinic of internal medicine. The building was donated to Isesaki City in 2002 and designated as a Tangible Cultural Property of Isesaki City. While it retains its Western-style facade with a Germanic outer wall in the Shitami Itabari style, the guest rooms have been styled in a fundamentally Japanese fashion.

    最初に案内しますか、と言われましたので、お願いしました。 (つい、断りがちなのですが) 案内いただいて大正解でした。 きっと、案内の方が、建物・伊勢崎が大好きなので、それが伝わってくるからかと思いました。 伊勢崎は、城下町だったし、絹織物の一大製生産地だったそうです。

    2015年10月22日に水上温泉に行った帰りに、偶然寄りました。この記念館を訪問するまで塩原太助のことは知りませんでした。江戸時代の豪商ですが、一時は、神田川に身を投げて死のうとしたのですが、山口屋の主人に助けられ、山口屋で働くようになったようです。豪商になってからは、公共事業に貢献するなど、世のために尽くしたそうです。 郷土の誇りとして、後世に語り継ぐ姿に感心いたしました。農産物センターもありま...
