About This Tea Room
Constructing the tea room requires a lot of technique of a superior craftsperson.
Not only carpenters, plasterer s and tillers, but there are also panel sculptors and bamboo craftsperson(who make base bamboo wall before applying the mud-plaster).
All of those specialists make a good tea room. Unfortunately those superior craftsperson decrease year by year even in Kyoto.
We really hope to continue building tea house, gathering the remaining members and training new future carpenters.
