Seisonkaku

The Seisonkaku (成巽閣) is a large Japanese villa in the city of Kanazawa, built in 1863 by Maeda Nariyasu (1811–1884), 13th daimyo of the Kaga Clan, as a retirement home for his mother Shinryu-in (眞龍院). A collection of her personal effects is open to the public. The second floor of the building is decorated in strong reds, blues and purples in the sukiya-shoin (数奇屋風書院) style. Some of the shoji screens on the second floor feature glass panes imported from the Netherlands, allowing snow viewing in wintertime without opening the screens.
