The Japanese House exhibit, also called Kyo no Machiya, at Boston Children’s Museum is a well-preserved machiya, a traditional urban house from Kyoto, Japan. It was a gift from the city of Kyoto to the city of Boston to commemorate the 20th anniversary of their Sister Cities Relationship in 1979. This machiya was originally built in the late 1800s and was once home to a silk merchant family in Kyoto’s Nishijin neighborhood, long famous for its silk weaving.
