The shimenawa is a rope to indicate the holiness of a place, and rope made of hay is twisted leftwards. This is placed in small Shinto altars within the house and also around the house on New Year's to indicate the presence of toshigami (deity welcomed to the household on New Year's for happiness throughout the year). The rope wreath is a simplified version, and is displayed at the gate and entrance of the residence.==Date:unknown, Place:unknown, Photo:unknown, (Credit:Nagasaki University Library/Kyodo News Images) [Cabinet Number18‐42‐0]

    Honjin,an officially appointed inn for daimyo,in a post town

    A honjin (officially appointed inn) is a place of lodging for war lords, officials of the Shogunate and the aristocracy. The origin is derived from Ashikaga Yoshiaki, who raised a plaque at his lodging on the way to Kyoto. The characteristics are spacious grounds with a gate entrance and rooms in the upper tier. The honjin developed with the sankinkotai (warlord's alternate-year residence in Edo), and its managers were allowed to have last names and to wear swords.==Date:unknown, Place:unknown, Photo:unknown, (Credit:Nagasaki University Library/Kyodo News Images) [Cabinet Number13‐24‐0]
