Ashigaru Museum, Kanazawa

This was an interesting little complex of historical buildings that I just happened upon as I was walking in the samurai district. It is well kept and has information in several languages and is free to visit.

Ashigaru is the lowest rank in battle.
Usually peasants, they were hired as infantryman for war.
That is, ordinary people.
I still like studying history. I am particularly Interested in the lives of ordinary people in the past.
Thank you for noticing the Ashigaru Museum and taking a picture.
It is surprising that there are several rooms and that they have toilets.

Thank you Pamela.
Hug🙌.

I am so happy these houses can be seen by the public, free of charge and that the explanation is in several languages. Bravo Kanazawa!

It's amazing how all these interesting museums are free to visit but still maintained so well!
