Artist’s Description:

The Ishitani Residence in Chizu, Tottori Prefecture, Japan was the Edo-era home build by an upper-class family who specialized in land management.

Greatly expanded during the early 20th century, the home now includes Western-style elements. It includes 40 rooms on two floors and numerous mud-walled warehouses.

The house overlooks Chisen garden and its tearoom.

A number of its buildings have been designated Important Cultural Properties and its gardens are a registered Place of Scenic Beauty.
