The beginning of the company's homepage is "Ogura Shoten Co., Ltd. is the producer of" Authentic Yuki Tsumugi "designated as an important intangible cultural property. ], Inheriting the old Yuki Tsumugi. He runs the "Authentic Yuki Tsumugi Folk Museum". I saw it on a walk around Yuki City on Monday, November 8, 2021. (The photo shown is different from the cultural property building) The following is introduced on the official website of Yuki City. -National registered tangible cultural property-Building □ Ogura Shoten Registration date: March 7, 2008 Location: Oaza Yuki Azaura Town Early Meiji era Number of members 1 building It is said that Ogura Shoten was founded in 1829, and the owner is the 7th generation. It is said that he moved to Yuki from Sano City, Tochigi Prefecture, three generations ago (the great-grandfather of the owner), and built the current store after the fire in Uramachi in the early Meiji era. ○ Ogura Shoten store and main building (wooden two-story, tiled roof) The store is a two-story wooden building, with a gable, Hirairi, and stile roof, 4 gables, 5 gables, and a half-story eaves on the front. On the front of the 1st floor, a wooden sliding glass door and a lattice door are built between the two on the right side of the center, the right side is a half-door bag, and the left side is a lattice window with a waist. However, this is due to recent remodeling, and it is probable that initially the front side was a lattice door except for the door pocket, and the door was closed by a fried door halfway back. On the 2nd floor, both ends are half-door pockets and the entire surface is a lattice window. Inside, the store is on the first floor, consisting of a dirt floor and a 6 tatami mat room, and behind it is a small room with 4 tatami mats and a tatami mat with 8 tatami mats. Except for the expanded plank floor, it is almost in the state at the time of construction. On the 2nd floor, there are 2 tatami mats on the north side, but the 8 tatami mats in the back have shelves unlike the floor. All are in good condition, but the south side of the tatami room has been remodeled. Although there are some traces of recent remodeling and refurbishment both inside and outside, the parts are old and the atmosphere of a traditional merchant house is well maintained as a whole.
