View of the restored mud walls (with protective straw mats on them for protection) in the Naga-machi Buke Yashiki District in Kanazawa, Japan on January 12, 2016. Kanazawa was a castle town of the Kaga Clan governed by the Maeda family until 1868 (about 280 years) after Maeda Toshiie moved to Kanazawa Castle in 1583. The residences of two of the eight chief retainers of the Kaga Clan were located in the Naga-machi area, where top- and middle-class samurais lived. (Photo by Linda Davidson/The Washington Post)
