●春風楼　Shunpuro
春風楼は文政五年（1822）長州藩十代藩主毛利斎煕が五重塔の建立を思い立ち、塔の設計を現在の重層の楼閣様式へ変更して明治六年に完工しました。この楼の床下の木組は着工当初の塔の一層軒下に使用すべき組物を使用したもので、当時の面影を偲ぶ未完の五重の塔です。ここからの四季折々の絶景は春風楼の名にふさわしい場所となっています。
In 1822, Narihiro Mohri, the 10th lord of the Choshu domain, decided to build a five-story pagoda. The pagoda design was changed to the current multi-storied building style, and construction was completed in 1873.The original five story structure was not completed as intended. The bottom wooden framework under the floor of the tower was constructed using components originally intended for under the first eaves. What stands today is an unfinished pagoda that recalls the appearance of the time.The breathtaking beautiful scenery throughout the seasons from here has become a fitting place for name of ”shunpuro”
