Since 1992, the residents living in the houses along Hondori (main street) in Iwamura-cho, Ena City, Gifu Prefecture, have hung a noren (a short [split] curtain hung at the entrance of a room) indicating the names of female members of each family to the memory of Otsuya no kata, who was the chatelaine of the area. |
なお、岐阜県恵那市岩村町では女城主おつやの方にちなみ、平成4年から本通り沿いの家々で、家族の女性の名前を記した暖簾を掛けている。 |
