I
also
stopped
by
the
former
Kawashima
family
residence.
It
is
also
the
only
samurai
residence
that
has
been
opened
to
the
public
to
tell
the
story
of
the
lives
of
senior
samurai,
and
is
the
remains
of
a
magistrate
official
built
in
the
early
1800s.
The
Kawashima
family
moved
to
Omori
for
generations,
managing
the
silver
mine
and
controlling
the
silver
mine
territory.
The
house
has
a
gate
facing
the
street,
and
when
you
pass
through
the
gate,
you
can
see
the
main
house
with
a
formal
entrance.
The
main
house
looks
like
a
one-story
building,
but
there
is
a
second
floor
above
the
dirt
floor
and
storage
room,
and
the
guest
room
faces
the
garden.
It
was
designated
as
a
designated
ruin
by
Ota
City
in
1993
because
it
clearly
represents
the
stance
of
a
senior
samurai
and
the
residence
of
a
silver
mine
official.
When
the
main
house
was
rebuilt,
the
heads
of
the
family
were
the
fifth
generation
Tokubei
and
the
sixth
generation
Saburoemon.
Saburoemon,
said
to
be
the
founder
of
the
Kawashima
family's
revival,
was
allowed
to
succeed
his
father
Tokubei
in
1808,
and
was
appointed
a
silver
mine
official
with
30
bales
of
cut
rice
and
three
people.
In
1810,
he
was
appointed
to
the
position
of
Yamakata-gake,
and
eventually
worked
his
way
up
to
the
head
of
the
group,
before
passing
away
in
1858.
Furthermore,
it
appears
that
documents
related
to
a
foreign
ship
that
washed
ashore
at
Oura
Minato
(Isotake-cho,
Ota
City)
in
1857
were
found
in
the
underlayment
of
the
fittings
used
in
the
main
house.
At
this
time,
Saburoemon
seems
to
have
transported
foreigners
who
had
drifted
ashore
to
Nagasaki.
