Hachimori-en
overview
Hachimori-en was the residence of the descendants of Doeki Sato, the founder of Ritsurin Park in Takamatsu, Shikoku. The present one-story house was rebuilt after the Boshin War, the former house having been destroyed during the war.
Built as the residence of high-ranking samurai who respected prestige, the house is characterized by guest rooms on a higher level than the rest of the building.
The two-story building was reconstructed in the Taisho era (1912-1926) over a period of three years, using carefully selected materials from abroad, which was unusual at the time. The tea ceremony room of the Enshu school is also located there. and the garden is said to have been influenced by Ritsurin Park.
