Dragons were painted on the walls and on the paper

A wooden structure called the Hyakudan Staircase still remains in Meguro Gajoen. There are seven rooms where grand banquets were once held, each connected by 99 steps. It is not clear why there are only 99 steps in spite of the name "Hyakudan Staircase (100-step staircase)." In any case, banquets are no longer held here. The Hyakudan Staircase, designated as a Tangible Cultural Property by the Tokyo Metropolitan Government, is used only for events.

When I visited, there was an event going on. In each room, there are exhibits in the genres of "festival," "art," "craftsman," and "traditional arts." One of them was ink painting. A work by an ink painter named Yuhki Nishimoto was on display. There was a dragon on a stand and another dragon on the wall. It was a lively dragon.
