    This museum exhibits materials related to the Tabuchi family, which operated salt farm and a salt wholesaling business starting in the early Edo period. The museum was established in 1997, and it has preserved and displayed Japanese paintings, calligraphy, tea utensils, bridal trousseaus, and other items donated to Ako City by the Tabuchi family. The museum is most notable for its large collection of tea implements, which are displayed in a matter that conveys a sense of the seasons. The building has a stately Japanese-style exterior designed to harmonize with the surrounding scenery. The museum's approximately 25-square-meter Japanese-style room doubles as an exhibit room and a tearoom.

    特集展示では赤穂ゆかりの画家の作品が展示されていた。館内は綺麗だが、展示物は少ないし、私の興味をひくものはなかった。人も少なく、駐車場入ってから出るまで他の入館者はゼロでした。

Hyogo prefecture stretches from the north coast to the south coast on the western end of the popular Kansai region, encompassing verdant mountains, urban beaches, and fantastic historical sights. The prefecture’s main attractions lie along the south coast at Kobe, the prefectural capital, a pretty harbor city best known for its production of the renowned Kobe beef, and Himeji, the home of Himeji Castle, one of the country’s most beautifully preserved feudal castles, perched magically atop a hill.
