comment
It was built in Shuri by the Yonabaru family, a family of Shuri warriors who served as ministers in the Ryukyu royal government. The year of construction is about 217 years. The shisa on the roof was originally made by a carpenter master who made a shisa as his own work of art out of leftover shikui from the roof and displayed it on the roof. The Oshiro family was a successful business family that exported brown sugar to Kagoshima and other areas as a trading ministry around the time of the abolition of the domain in 1879.

This house was built in Shuri by the Yonabaru family, a family of Shuri gentry who served as ministers in the Ryukyu Kingdom. It was built roughly 217 years ago. It is a single-story wooden structure with a length of 12.7 meters, a width of 6.4 meters, a traditional design with a hipped red-tile roof, and a total area of 102 square meters. On the east side is "ichiba-za" (a guest room) and "niban-za" (an altar room), each 9.95 square meters in size, with "ura-za" (a back room) to the north and "sanban-za" (a living room) and kitchen on the west side.
