イタリア大使館と忠臣蔵

In the spacious garden at the Embassy of Italy, there is a monumental rock dedicated to the worriors loyal to the master.

That's 忠臣蔵

When we were there, we prayed in a silence.

Pray to these 10 worriors loyal to their duties and the master by harakiri.

This area used to be a land of the Iyo clan, The Matsudaira, feudal load.

In meiji era, it became the Matsukata's ownership.

Japanese stroll style garden remains intact fortunately.

Among this, big white statue sculpted by Yasuda kan are well harmonized.

This conbination made me thrilled.

Elaboratedlly designed exterior , the vast garden well harmonized with nature surroundings, and the exquisite interior such as the marquetry commode, the abstract drawing, pair of candle holderes made of argent are the best among 76 embassies located at Minato ward.
