A Builder Named on the Ridge Tablet
The Suzuki Boseki misegura was built in 1906 as the shop of a grain merchant and faces north onto the street (Agency for Cultural Affairs). It is a single-storey plastered storehouse five and a half bays wide and three and a half deep, and its ridge tablet names the master carpenter, Nakamura Eijiro.
The tiled roof is hipped at the west end and gabled at the east, with a lower hipped section to the east to round off the front (Agency for Cultural Affairs). Apart from a raised floor over part of the earthen floor, it keeps its original state well.
