Sukiya's detailed design combines the skills and wisdom of Japanese craftsmen, such as selected materials, the aesthetic sense of the ridge that sorts them, and the craftsmanship of carefully and finely processing the materials. Here, we introduce the materials and production techniques for famous trees, fittings, surface fittings, tatami mats, etc.

Introducing the works and relics of master craftsmen who played an active part from the Meiji era to the Showa era. Named masters such as Kiyobei Kimura, Kaichiro Usui, Sotoji Nakamura, Masaya Hirata, and Bunjiro Mizusawa will be featured. Even if you know the name in books and architectural works, you rarely have the opportunity to see real materials that can feel the spirit of the master. This exhibition will be a special opportunity to get in touch with them.
