Samurai Residence Kurando Terashima's House

This guide to the Samurai Residence Kurando Terashima's House in Kanazawa follows a mid-ranking Maeda retainer nicknamed the tiger of the front gate, an auditor and magistrate whose public objections to a corrupt treasury cost him his career. You'll see the modest house he left behind and the small upstairs studio where he later painted under another name. Look for the low ceiling and plain tatami marking an official's home, not a lord's.
