Cultural Path Futaba Museum - Nagoya
This museum wasn’t on my original plan, but I noticed the interesting building as I was walking toward Nagoya Castle, and decided to stop. I was the only person visiting at the time. Admission is only 200 yen and the museum is open 10 am - 5 pm.
The Futaba Museum website has a lot of great information about the residents and the residence. This is the former home of Sadayakko Kawakami (1871-1946), who made her name as Japan’s first actress, and Momosuke Fukuzawa (1868-1938), who was once known as the king of electric power.
Can you imagine the couple coming down this staircase?

This would be my kind of museum. I love seeing how people lived. And all that stained glass is just fantastic! What lovely light throughout, popped with color. That staircase is very dramatic!
What a nice house! Even if it wasn't a museum it would be nice to visit.
