令和8年(2026年)28日は、近年大阪府吹田市は雪が降っても毎年殆ど積もったことがなかったのですが、朝起きましたら自宅の庭に雪が積もっていましたので9時になって旧中西家住宅へ連絡をして撮影させていただきました。

Former Nakanishi Family Residence had been donated to Suita-City as the "Kishibe Guesthouse for Writers and Artists" by Nakanishi Family at January 1st 2007. They say by an official booklet "Nakanishi family was a village official in the Edo era (1603-1868) of Japan. The residence had built in 1826 and that residence has a main house, a Nagaya-mon gate and a wood-shed in the about 3,300 house site. That is been remaining architecture of the Edo era. The Japanese garden at the front of a main house "East Garden" is very rare garden from there are an artificial-low area and that is as a national-designated site of scenic beauty in August 11 2013. All building of this residence is as a designation tangible cultural property of Suita-City and as a registered tangible cultural property of Japan.

Since I first have been photographing the Former Nakanishi Family Residence in the spring of 2020, I have continued to photograph it every spring and autumn during its Special Public Opening period. I took the photos in the summer of 2022. And then for the first time, I was able to photo the landscape of winter snowfall.
