Nomura house

The Nomura sought for further refinement by using paulownia for the design of alcove panels and Indian ironwood frames, features which were fairly unusual for the time, for the sliding thick-paper doors that open up the room to the garden.

 

The garden inside the residence has a Japanese bayberry over 400 years old and a meandering stream surrounded by ancient and strangely shaped rocks.
