History (Origin)
According to the old town pictorial, the block of the town here seems to
have been developed between 1753 - 1777.
Judging from the old exterior of the remaining main house, it is assumed
to be built in the middle of 18th century. In the premise, there remain
two storehouses built in the late Edo period, and a parlor and storehouse
built in the Meiji period, which remind us of the prosperity in the past.
The trade name of the family called Momensho (Momenya) and the family was
said to run cotton wholesaler at the beginning, then the family changed
to run a china store for these four generations.
Features of the buildings
The premise occupies one-third of the block. In front, a show window with
glass being embedded is set and the retractable store shelves called Age-mise
is placed at the storefont.
