「旧古賀家」佐賀県 / “Former Koga Family House" Saga Pref

「旧古賀家」佐賀県佐賀市

佐賀市歴史民俗館（7館）の1つ。旧古賀家は、古賀銀行を創設し頭取を務めた古賀善平の住宅として1884（明治17）年に建てられた。その後も善兵衛、善一郎（二代目善兵衛）が居住したが、銀行の解散後は古賀氏の手を離れ、1954（昭和29）年からは料亭として使われていた。

街道沿いの町屋に多い切妻造ではなく、入母屋造の屋根を備えた旧古賀家は武家屋敷の様式を踏襲している。とりわけ約50畳の大広間は圧巻。欄間や襖、板戸といった内装が往時の面影を宿す。また結霜ガラスやモダンな縞模様のエッチングガラスなども貴重。現存する建物は、座敷をはじめ住宅の主要部分は良く残り、本格的な屋敷構えで格式に優れた明治期の実業家の住居遺構として貴重な存在。1991（平成3）年に佐賀市の所有となり、料亭時代に増改築された部分が建設当初のものに復原され、4年後の1995（平成7）年に佐賀市重要文化財の指定を受けている。

庭園は大広間上座敷の南側に枯山水庭、北側に枯池の庭がある。

"Former Koga Family House" Saga City, Saga Prefecture

One of the seven Saga City History and Folklore Museums. The Former Koga Family House was built in 1884 (Meiji 17) as the residence of Koga Zenpei, who founded Koga Bank and served as its president. Later, Zenbei and Zenichiro (the second Zenbei) lived there, but after the bank was dissolved, it left the hands of the Koga family and was used as a restaurant from 1954 (Showa 29).

There are many townhouses along the road, but the former Koga Family House follows the style of a samurai residence. The large hall of about 50 tatami mats is particularly impressive. The luxurious interior conveys the atmosphere of the past. In 1991 (Heisei 3), the property became the property of Saga City, and the parts that were added and remodeled during the time of the restaurant were restored to their original state, and four years later, in 1995 (Heisei 7), it was designated as an Important Cultural Property of Saga City.

The garden has a dry landscape garden to the south of the large hall and a dry pond garden to the north.
