anchor: Just east of the riverside market are two merchants' houses, Yoshijima-ke and Kusakabe Mingeikan, the latter turned into a superb folkcraft museum displaying local costumes, woodcarvings, and the fine, transparent lacquerware (shunkeinuri) that highlights rather than conceals the grain of the wood.
positive: There are two houses east of the market.
negative: The hosues are far west of the market.
