1.What is "Senpukan"?
Senpukan was designated as important cultural property in 1956. It is one of the oldest western-style building exisiting in Japan. The Sempukan was built in 1870 by Thomas Waters (dedicated mint staff during our founding period) from UK. It was originally used as a reception hall by the Mint; today, however, it is the property of the City of Osaka.
