Futaba Aoi
- The concept of this room began 22 years ago when I visited Kyoto's Nakamura Sotoji Komuten, a master sukiya architect.While listening to the story of the master who asked, he abandoned that "it is a world that is not as good as I am now."I am determined to learn everything and grow.I waited for the time to come.
In the meantime, my dreams gradually expanded, and after 20 years, I asked the master again in September 2019.With the promise of design and construction, construction started in October 2021, two years later.
Until the start of construction, they listened to various hopes, and there were dozens of exchanges with them, and even at the stage of construction, new proposals were proposed one after another from the construction shop. rice field.
The owner wants to prepare equipment suitable for such a wonderful space, so he is enthusiastic about selecting it, and orders high-grade items that are not found in Japanese hotels and inns, and arranges them while checking the feel, comfort, and design. I am.
The entrance, front room, Japanese-style room, Western-style room, washroom, Ginsen bathroom, toilet, closet, and "Futaba Aoi" are suites that give the atmosphere of a single house.

- Japanese-style room(Zashiki)The master craftsman's work at Sukiya has been handed down with the three pillars of "materials," "tools," and "cleaning."We have always prepared the best materials that have been carefully examined and have proposed the most suitable materials to the owner.
This time as well, the owner first chose the floor pillars of the Japanese-style room.Log with red pine skin.By choosing this, the whole picture of this tatami room was narrowed down.All are calm spaces finished with tea room dimensions.
Sukiya is based on the simple tea room design established by Senno Rikyu, and is characterized by its free and sophisticated taste.The handicrafts made by craftsmen, such as the base window knitted with reeds and wisteria vines, and the wide-rimmed finish, are unique to master craftsmen.It quietly adds a tasteful taste.The clay wall finish by the plasterer and the fittings such as shoji and sliding doors take in light and wind and bring comfort.The fusuma and shoji are given a delicate sense of Kyoto, and advanced technology can also be seen.There is also a stylish atmosphere such as the color of the floor stile, and the tatami room of Hanano's flexible tea room is designed with free flowers and settings, with the hospitality of "Flowers are in the field" in mind.

- Western-style RoomWestern-style room with Simmons semi-double twin beds.Beside that, you can enjoy alcohol as a minibar.Although it is a Western-style room, the addition of shoji screens creates a sense of unity throughout the suite.
This shoji is the long-cherished wish of the owner, Yoshimura shoji.Architect Junzo Yoshimura has designed a shoji with a wide space between the stiles, finely tuned the stiles and frames, and unified the found dimensions of the kumiko and stile dimensions. With a design shoji screen, it shines a gentle light into the Western-style room.
The floor is made of Nara wood, and the walls are plastered. In the calm Western-style room, the bedside table and furniture such as tables and chairs for relaxing while drinking are selected from Cassina of Italy for modernity and sophistication. I will tell you casually.
The painting on the wall is a precious and strong presence of the old cloth of the Inca Empire (14th century), but it fits as if it were for this room.
