This long-established shop carries on the Kamakurabori carving tradition.This structure was built in 1936 by local carpenter Kiichi Nishii and his son Shoji as the store and residence of Sogaku Sato, a Kamakurabori carver. While the glass doors and show windows of the first-floor storefront incorporate modern Western architectural techniques, the structure as a whole combines temple and castle styles. Since its construction, Sunshodo has played an important role as a landmark in the Sasamemachi and Hase neighborhoods.
