Yokomizo Yashiki

Yokomizo Yashiki, now a designated Yokohama cultural property, is a complex of farm buildings from the early to mid nineteenth century.

The Yokomizo family were the headmen of their village and had a very substantial property, which their heirs donated to Yokohama.

The city has restored the five surviving buildings—the gate (with built-in storerooms, shown here), the handsome main house, a separate building for raising silkworms, a granary, and a document storehouse—and opened them to the public as a park/history museum. The interior is preserved to show what farm life (farm life on the high end of the scale, to be sure) was like in the past.

In addition to touring the main building, Yokohama residents are welcome to rent its sitting room for events.

Thatched-roof buildings such as these are rapidly disappearing from Japan. It’s rather amazing to have such a fine set of them preserved in Yokohama, which is so identified with modernity and where what was countryside a century ago has been so rapidly urbanized.

  16. The couple are to ring the bell to remind them of their wedding day. You can find a pretty crystal bell on EBay for a few dollars or you can go to Irish shopping web sites and order a bell for much more. Make sure you add a small paper telling the meaning of the bell. The last wedding I attended I made a poem and framed it when I gave them the bell.

  18. I don’t see why not! Just check that the fabric won’t just fade the color though, by it being too thin or too thick.  But a white dress is traditional.  Have a great wedding day.

  19. It would be wise to find a dry cleaners that specializes in dying a wedding dress. If a person tries to dye their own wedding dress certain fabrics may not pick up the dye evenly and could ruin the dress.
