Concept
Since Toshizo Hijikata, the deputy commander of the Shinsengumi, and Genzaburo Inoue were born in Hino City, Tokyo, the building was built as the main venue for the "Shinsengumi Festa in Hino" to coincide with the broadcast of NHK's historical drama series. The façade of the building is symbolically decorated with the Yamagata pattern used in the Shinsengumi's flag and sleeve insignia, and the interior is made of old materials from private homes in the Tama area. The roof is wrapped in the image of a Japanese umbrella, and various Shinsengumi-themed exhibitions were held in the space.
