information |
The Ohashi House is the former residence of one of Kurashiki's most powerful merchant families, the Ohashi. It is a very beautiful example of an elegant Edo Period town house with spacious tatami rooms, a kitchen, bathroom, toilet and a storehouse.
Built in 1793, the house features elements which were theoretically permitted only for samurai houses, indicating the increasing power of Japan's merchant class in the late Edo Period.
