About Japanese Heritage Shoya House
The 3,000 square foot Japanese Heritage Shoya House was originally constructed in Marugame, Japan approximately 320 years ago. Initially a magistrate’s house and center of village life, the home was passed down through a single family for generations, and donated in 2016 to the Huntington Library, Art Museum, and Botanical Gardens in San Marino, California.
Relocation and seismic stability of the structure, which features mortise and tenon joints and natural wood trunk and branch features, was a multi-year collaboration between local experts in both countries. New wood shear walls, hold downs, and foundations were delicately integrated to maintain the cultural and architectural integrity, while offering public occupancy within current building code parameters.
As part of a 2-acre re-created period compound with traditional landscapes, outbuildings, and interactive components, the home offers an immersive glimpse into rural Japanese life some 300 years ago, providing insights into the culture and sustainability practices.
