History
The grounds were built for Itō Suketami (1878-1940), the president of the Matsuzakaya Company, from the 1910s to the 1930s. A number of historic structures throughout Japan that were endangered were acquired by him, disassembled, transported and reassembled on his property. During the bombing of Nagoya in World War II in March 1945, a number of structures were destroyed.
Most of those that have remained have been designated as Tangible Cultural Property by the city. The grounds today are administered by a non-profit organisation.
