Samurai House

I visited an old house that used to be of a samurai family in Kanazawa. The house was established by Nomura Denbei who served the local lord, Maeda Toshiie in late 16th century. The house is in the area I visited last year. The family was allowed to occupy this house for 10 generations until the 1871.

Here's the actual armor Nomura Denbei wore when he served in a war in 1582.

Tokonoma was simple, yet very elegant and nice.

Here's Butsudan where the family worshipped their ancestors.
