The essential aspect of Japanese design is its simplicity. The main feature
of Japanese design is pure lines and uncluttered spaces.
mankind lived a simple life in harmony
with nature.
To achieve Japanese design, use minimum items; place them independently, away
from each other so that each item can be admired for its beauty. Achieve
serenity by creating oneness with nature.
Our philosophy
of living with nature extends to the home we furnish which
is based on natural forms and materials, and is built based
on renewable resources.

Tatami Mat
Tatami is
made of rush. The kind of rush to make tatami is called igusa. If you look at
the surface of tatami closely, you will find that tatami is woven out of rush.
To weave and ame one surface of tatami, they use about four to five thousand
pieces of rush. But the craftsperson doesn't use rush immediately after harvest.
They sort rush by its use and grade before they use it.

Fusuma
Fusuma-shoji
are sliding doors used to separate rooms. Unlike the translucent akarishouji,
they are opaque. They run in tracks along the top called "uwabuchi" and bottom
called "shitabuchi." The vertical sides of the frame are called "mashibuchi."
These frames offer anchorage, but the door can be easily lifted out. Fusuma are
constructed of lightweight wood covered with decorative paper. Fusuma doors are
trimmed with cedar, which is typically dark brown or black lacquer. Handles,
called "hikite," are often quite elaborate and unique in shape, not necessarily
circular. Tassels attached to the handles pulls are called "fusahikite."
