It was opened on March 18, 1965. The museum preserves historic buildings from Japan's Meiji (1867-1912), Taisho (1912-1926), and early Shōwa (1926-1989) periods. Over 60 historical buildings have been moved and reconstructed onto 1 square kilometre (250 acres) of rolling hills alongside Lake Iruka. The most noteworthy building there is the reconstructed main entrance and lobby of Frank Lloyd Wright's landmark Imperial Hotel, which originally stood in Tokyo from 1923 to 1967, when the main structure was demolished to make way for a new, larger version of the hotel."--Wikipedia. Note: "Saigō Tsugumichi ( ... Saigō Jūdō) (1 June 1843 - 18 July 1902) was a Japanese politician and admiral in the Meiji-period."--Wikipedia. Note: (re: lamp) "The stands are typical neo-baroque works of art, manufactured in Germany together with the bridge."--The Museum Meiji-Mura website.
