When visiting art and historical museums we notice increasing appearance of traditional crafts that are difficult to reproduce now days. This situation is indicative of a slow disappearance of traditional sense and craft. This is happening all over the world. This tea ceremony room is a space created with twisted threads set up in many directions in a “two tatami-matt” stainless steel frame. It expresses everyday craftwork seen at a weaving factory and the high quality techniques that have been developed through time. This tearoom is aiming to convey the importance and preciousness of delicate handmade craftsmanship.
