Explore through the hallways and tatami rooms of the buildings at the historic Japanese Estate of the Ichishima family in Shibata, Japan.
The Ichishima family were rich landlords in this area. The buildings and garden of their estate are now a museum.
The buildings consist of numerous tatami rooms connected by a maze-like network of hallways. There are historical artifacts on display in some of the rooms. Many of the windows are covered with shoji-paper screens. The garden can be seen from many different angles as I wander from room to room.
