Daily HDR Photo — Huge farmhouse in Shirakawa-go
Today’s photo is one of the most important farmhouse in Shirakawa-go, Nagaseke (or Nagase house). It’s huge! Check it out.
About
It’s just as big inside as it looks. Historically, the entire extended family would live in one of these. This house, Nagaseke, was important because the Nagase family were doctors for the Maede lords in Ishikawa Prefecture. Today it is a museum. They show off various gifts from the Maeda family and various tools for farming and raising sikworms.
This is the same village I posted the wide shot of a week or so ago. Can you find Nagaseke in the wide photo?
More texture play today. What do you think? Let me know in the comments.

I like the texture. It gives it this old, earthy, back-in-the-day, peek-into-history quality. Now if you could just get Miss Photobomb in the lower corner to hide behind a copy-pasted flower bush or something, it would be practically perfect. : p
I like your pictures. I haven’t commented before but I have your blog in my google reader, and the recent slew of neato pictures are really cool. Thanks! b^_^
You know, I was debating cropping her and the kid out, but decided against it. My photos so rarely have people in them, so I thought I’d let her stay in. Maybe in the director’s cut I’ll give in and axe her.
Thanks for the comment and the kind words. ^^

It is a huge house. How many rooms in there??? But there is no window in the rooms located at middle of this house, only the front side and back side has windows. It must be very dark in the rooms without windows.
I don’t know for sure. Only a small section of it was actually open to the public. But yeah, it probably would be a pretty dreary place.

nice picture, would love to see it without the post processing as well .-= Jamaipanese´s last blog ..JR East Introducing Railway of Love =-.
Thanks! It was a 5-exposure HDR, so none of the unprocessed images look too hot. But if you are interested, maybe I’ll upload the best of them sometime.

Love this picture! The texture adds a neat look to it. It reminds me of the grainy look of the old turn of the 20th century pictures, which gives this photo a historic quality to it. All you have to do is remove the tourists, and the photo looks like an older photo with color applied to it.
Besides the effects in the photo, I love the subject of the photo. It is so easy for me to look up modern pop culture and ancient temples from Japan, but I greatly appreciate a glimpse into the peasant life of historic Japan.
Thanks Amber! Hmm.. another vote against the tourists..
