The residence of Okuma Shigenobu

The residence of Okuma Shigenobu in Totsuka Village (present day Totsuka-machi, Shinjuku Ward). The noted statesman lived in a Western-style mansion in Iida-machi (present day Kudan 1-chome) but later moved into the residence of the former lord of the Takamatsu Clan, Matsudaira Yorisato, located next to Tokyo Polytechnic School. After acquiring the house, he made some extensions and modifications and filled in the garden pond shown in photograph #4005. This is a stereograph sold by Underwood & Underwood Co.==Date:1904, Place:Tokyo, Photo:Underwood, (Credit:Nagasaki University Library/Kyodo News Images) [Cabinet Number97‐74‐0]

An estate and its garden

This seems to be the villa of Matsudaira Yorisato, feudal lord of the Takamatsu Clan, located in Totsuka Village (present-day Totsuka-cho, Shinjuku Ward). Okuma Shigenobu, who founded the Tokyo Polytechnic School (present-day Waseda University) in 1882, bought this villa in 1884. It is said that he re-designed the garden in a mixture of Japanese and Western styles. In photograph #5010 taken in 1904, the pond has been filled in and covered with a lawn . This photograph was probably taken by Baron Raimund Stillfried Rathenitz before the villa was purchased by Okuma.==Date:unknown, Place:Tokyo, Photo:R.
