Enkikan

4.0

This historic structure, moved to Hakusan Park, is a portion of the former residence of Saito Kijuro, a wealth merchant who was active from the Meiji through the Showa periods. Since it was opened to the public, it has been used as a space for promoting the tea ceremony, flower arranging, and a variety of other Japanese cultural arts. Every part of its Meiji period architecture, from the stylish inner parlor, to the arcing jibukuro floor cupboard and detailed transoms, speak of the splendor of a bygone age. Today, the structure is open to the general public for viewing and is also frequently used as a space for private enterprises such as concerts and children’s Zen meditation classes.

明治期の豪商の邸宅

Reviewed : 2020.06.10

白山公園内にある、豪商斎藤喜十郎家の邸宅です。1908年頃に建てられた建物を移築したもので、なかでも奥座敷や土縁から、建物としての美しさを感じ取ることができるかと思います。

お茶会などに利用される施設で、どなたでも見学は無料です。400円ほどでお茶とお茶菓子がいただけます。冬は寒いです。

明治４０年代の推定される新潟最大の財閥であった齋藤家邸宅の一部を１９９７年に現在地に移築・再建したものです。入場無料の施設で５月人形が展示されていました。明治期の豪商の暮らしぶりがうかがえる施設で落ち着いた佇まいの中に優れた意匠が施されています。有料ですが抹茶を頂きました。
