Sankeien Gardens - Doors


One of the nice things of visiting the different buildings in Sankeien is that we can actually go inside some of the building and get up close with the interior.


Not only are the buildings old, but there are also many artifacts from the daily lives of the family's lives from the building's time period.


In this shot, we can see a device used to hold iron pots or kettles over the hot coals of an indoor fireplace called a hibachi, which is a box-shaped, open-topped container designed to hold burning charcoal.
