舊住友家俁野別邸, Former Sumitomo family villa in Totsuka, Japan

The Matano Villa combines Japanese and Western architectural elements, featuring exposed beams, crossbars, and half-timber style construction across its structure.

Built in 1939 as a retreat for Sumitomo Kichizaemon Tomonari, the 16th head of the Sumitomo family, the villa was designed by architect Shuzo Sato.

The building demonstrates early Showa period modernism through its architectural design, incorporating traditional Japanese elements with modern Western influences.

The villa opens its gardens and exhibition rooms to visitors, offering views of Mount Fuji and the Tanzawa Mountains on clear days.

After a complete destruction by fire in 2009, the villa underwent extensive reconstruction based on original architectural plans and reopened in 2017.
