Day 7, April 21, 2019, 11:55am, recording (b): Sitting in the engawa of the Honjin Teahouse, about 10 kilometers outside of Takasaki City. It's one of the very few original buildings on this strip of the Nakasendo. It was under private ownership until twenty years ago when it was donated to the city. Intermitten traffic noise is from vehicles on the Nakasendo, just outside the garden walls.
