The Mikawa Residence is a Western-style reinforced concrete structure built around 1928 by Yoshiyuki Mikawa, a physician, as his own residence. The building is finished in a German Expressionist style that emphasizes structure and function, incorporating soft curves and free design throughout and extensive use of industrially produced glass and steel. It is one of the few historical buildings that survived the air raid on Tokushima in 1945 and still retains the prewar Tokushima landscape.
