Japanese-style Room (nihonma)
The small Japanese-style room or "nihonma" is enclosed by "yukimi" style shoji screens. "Yukimi" translates as "snow viewing" and means that the screens can open vertically as well as horizontally. The tatami floor mats were custom made by Uota Tatami Mats. The tea table, constructed by Sakaguchi-san, is made of cherry wood. There is a recess in the center of the table covered by a piece of wood matching the table top. When the cover is removed, a portable electric or gas burner can be placed there to boil tea or make a hot pot.
