Former Residence of the Hatoyama Family

This residence was used by the Hatoyama Family, famous for many statesmans including former prime minister Ichiro Hatoyama.

When I was sketching this house in the bush of the garden, I was annoyed by many mosquitoes. A lady of the house came to me and handed me an insecticide spray. I felt the decency of the family renowned since the 19th century.
