Magistrate Residence (Ryokō Owari)

The Magistrate Residence in the Noble Quarter at Ryokō Owari Toshi was a massive three-story building wrapped around a hollow courtyard open to the street. It was a solid square encasement of pine. The center of its courtyard featured a large garden waterfall cascading over oblisks made from stacks of square stone blocks, with a pool ringed in black marble that bore the inscription "Ritsuryō".
