This is the residence of a father and son in a quiet residential area. Ten walls run east-west on a platform (about 1m high) that was created using Ikoma stone from the existing site. The platform is used as an outer garden, with a series of plants and trees at the eye level of people walking along the street. The vivid colors are based on the motif of "kasane" color of the dynastic period in response to the request of the owner to use colors.
