Tani Yutaka Family Residence

A House at Tano with Two Registered Buildings

The Tani Yutaka Family Residence stands at 1933 Tano Town, Aki District, Kochi Prefecture, where 2 buildings were entered on the register of tangible cultural properties on 1 December 2003. They are registered properties rather than designated ones. The older, the annex, dates from 1830 to 1867 and was moved here in 1931.

The 2 are the annex and the privy.

The reading given in the record is Tani Yutaka.

The Head of the Household Named in the House's Name

The house is called not by surname alone but by a full name.

The record reads the name as Tani Yutaka: Tani the family name, Yutaka the given name of one person.

In the prefecture's list, houses of Kumon Toshiyuki, Kumon Masaaki, Tani Yutaka and Tani Yuzo in the same town were registered on the same day. There are two Kumon households and two Tani households.

Households of one surname are told apart by the name of their head.

At the Ogiwara residence, the character and the reading of the name do not match.

Here the name does not show where surname ends and given name begins. The English name in the database reads Tanitoyo, which differs from the recorded reading.

The Annex Was Another Family's Main House

This household's annex was once the central building of another.

The Agency records that the annex is said to be the main house of an old family of Nahari, moved here. Its date field reads 1830 to 1867, and the move 1931.

Nahari is the neighbouring town. The main house of an old family there was brought over and serves here as an annex.

The former Yamanaka main house was given to a city and moved to a park; the Hara family's former tenement gate went from temple to farmhouse.

Here what was built as a main house became an annex where it came to rest. The move changed the building's standing. As a kind of removal this is the eighth met.

The annex is hip-and-gabled with a double gable on its south face, and holds 7 rooms including formal rooms of 10 and 8 mats.

Only the Annex and the Privy Are Registered

The central building of the household is not among those registered.

The Agency places the annex north of the main house, and the privy north of the main house and south of the annex. Both are placed from the main house.

In the prefecture's list too, only the annex and the privy appear under this house.

The main house by which they are placed lies outside the registration.

At Obaraya Harada Shoten, a registered store serves as the point of reference for others.

Here an unregistered building is the reference for the two that are registered. The privy is joined to the annex by a corridor.

Visiting

The property is at 1933 Tano Town, Aki District, Kochi Prefecture. Both carry the same address.

The annex covers 154 square metres and the privy 7.0 square metres.

In the prefecture's list, 11 houses and temples in the town were registered on the same day.
