Fuwaku
The building is a modern interpretation of traditional techniques and craftsmanship. The deep eaves of the sloping roof and the linear impression of the wooden latticework, combined with the painted walls, create a peaceful exterior atmosphere. The interior features a six-layered coffered ceiling composed of horizontal and vertical lines, and the beauty of the traditional painted walls and unique structural beauty expresses a Japanese sense of aesthetics and outstanding design.
