In recent years, the design of "Wamodern", which reconstructs the elements of Japanese in a modern style, has attracted attention. However, there are surprisingly few opportunities to learn the basic Japanese architectural design, and I think that Sukiya architecture, which is packed with many high-quality design elements, has a high threshold and is difficult to attach.
In this exhibition, we will dismantle the various elements that make Sukiya architecture, and explain where the craftsmen are particular about and pursue high quality from the perspective of the general designer Sukiya carpenter ridge.
A full-scale tea room structure model will be installed at the venue, and will explain the techniques of Sukiya carpenters that can only be seen during construction. At the same time, we will introduce beautiful and delicate products made by craftsmen involved in Sukiya, such as famous trees, bamboo, tatami mats, clay walls, fittings, metal fittings, etc., as well as tools and drawings used by the master who was called masters. You.
It is a great opportunity to understand the aesthetics and skills of sharpened craftsmen. Don't miss it.
What is Sukiya Carpenter?
The design of Sukiya that Japan is proud of in the world. It was invented by tea masters such as Sen no Rikyu and Oribe Furuta, or the nobles who built the Imperial Palace, and has long been cultivated and refined. The craftsmen of Sukiya, including carpenters, have shaped the ideas of people with delicate sensibilities with advanced technology. As the design of Sukiya was stylized and the consciousness of tea masters began to focus on tea utensils and manners, Sukiya carpenters who were good at handling building materials began to play an active role in the latter half of the Edo period.
