The essence of Sukiya style is that "not in a strange wind, not in quite a bit, as you can see." Sukiya style's general contractor, which is based on its light and elegant appearance, is characterized by the use of logs and bamboo, which are natural materials. The technology has been refined at the general contract of Sukiya and tea rooms, and has matured to be said to be the best of wooden building technology.
