Terashima Kurando House
The well-preserved historical home of Maeda-family retainer Terashima Kurando (1777–1837) provides a glimpse into how middle-ranking samurai families of eighteenth- and nineteenth-century Kanazawa lived.
The home is tucked into a quiet backstreet and surrounded by earthen walls. In spring, azaleas bloom in the garden. In autumn, it is a picturesque setting for colorful foliage.
The house contains family heirlooms such as porcelain and calligraphy. Terashima’s hobby was painting, and some of his art is also on display.
