Former Mouri family main residence (Mouri Museum)

Japan, 747-0023 1-15-1 Tatara, Hofu City, Yamaguchi Prefecture

The former main residence of the Mori family, built in 1916 after the Meiji Restoration by the Mori family, former lords of the Choshu domain, was built in 2011 as a Japanese-style Shoin-zukuri structure that inherited the style of daimyo residences from the Edo period. In 2002, it was designated as a national important cultural property. Currently, part of the former Mori family main residence is open to the public as the Mori Museum, where approximately 20,000 items inherited from the Mori family are preserved.
