Chapter 2: Di Tyr of Sukiro

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

Chapter 3: Sukiya carpenter biography

 Introducing the works and relics of master craftsmen who played an active part from the Meiji era to the Showa era. These are famous ridges such as Seibei Kimura, Kaichiro Usui, Sotoji Nakamura, Masaya Hirata, and Bunjiro Mizusawa. Even if you know the name in books and architectural works, there is little opportunity to see real materials that allow you to feel the spirit of the master. This exhibition will be a special opportunity to be able to touch them.
