overview

The span is 16.3m and the beam is 9.6m.
The protruding part on the south side has a length of 5.6m and a span of 4.8m.
Hip-gabled, thatched roof.
There is no clear documentation about the Obara family, and the history and construction date of the house are unclear.
It is a typical farmhouse for the region, and judging from its plan and construction methods, it is estimated to have been built in the mid-18th century.
The building is a curved structure with very small protrusions, making it an old style of curved structure.
It was converted from a straight-lined building to a curved building in the past, and is a valuable relic that gives us a glimpse into the development of curved buildings.
In 1975, the owner donated it to Towacho, Hanamaki City, and it was moved to its current location.
