Tsumago part 2

Common in the old days.  They used rocks to prevent shingles from flying off. Damn mountain weather's unpredictable
Swallow nesting under eaves.  Considered very auspicious for the house
This is for Francis. If you see this sign look for Baldwin Shaved Ice
Merchants and wealthy families had this storage "she'd" for their valuables
HonJin. Five star accommodation of the day.  High ranking officials, samurais, and Watanabes only
Wa Hon Jin. One level below Hon Jin but when the Hon Jin was destroyed by fire the Emporer and his consort stayed here
Here they are depicted on a scroll
