Egawatei (The Egawa Residence)

Historical Monument
Egawatei is the local governor’s residence where the Egawa family, descendants of Yamato Genji for over 900 years and 42 generations, resided. It has been designated as an Important Cultural Property of Japan. It is located in the site of the Nirayama government office, designated a national Historical Site of Izunokuni City, Shizuoka Prefecture. Following the Hogen Rebellion in 1156, Uno Chikanobu, the sixth generation of the Uno family, settled in the land of Izunirayama and so began the history of the Egawa Residence. The Uno family renamed themselves as the Egawa family and served as local governor for eleven generations during the Edo period. The main building is a single story building with a half-hipped roof. There are lots of things to see such as the quake-absorbing geometric lattice-work of the roof, and the ‘live pillars’ where trees have been used in the construction of the building.

  • 韮山反射炉を造った江川邸を初訪問す

    沼津に行ったついでに、韮山反射炉を造った江川邸を初訪問す。今回、建築した韮山代官江川栄龍の偉業職責を展示した江川邸を初訪問する。母屋は、保全建設中であり、建物全体が観えず残念なり。しかし、無料観光ガイドが、丁寧に説明くださり感謝す。柱や梁は、400年経過してるという。木材が、そんなに持つとは思いませんでした。江川栄龍は6尺:180㎝と長身で、引き戸はの高さは、150cmくらいで、当人は、猫背になる...

    まだ「観光」する一見さん、といった残念な投稿も多いようですね。もっと身近におもって貰えると、嬉しいのですが。

    反射炉と同様に、こちらもガイドの方が丁寧な説明をしてくれました。建物は、手入れも行き届いて見ごたえがありました。裏庭の拝観時期は過ぎていましたが、紅葉が残っており、見せていただきました。
