A visit to the extravagant decorations of the Nanshōsō mansion in Morioka, Iwate, Japan: an historic residence now open to the public.
Built in 1885 during the Meiji era, there are treasures here ranging from the more modern all the way back to the feudal Edo period.
With the dolls and a hot cup of amazake in hand, looking out at the snow-blanketed garden…
It’s a place to get lost in time.
