I didn't feel like making a music room, so I made a wide hallway and turned it into a piano room. There is an elevator behind the piano, and you can go up to the living room on the 3rd floor from the parking lot on the 1st floor.

This Japanese-style room is for organizing kimonos and placing a Buddhist altar. During the tea ceremony, it becomes a waiting room for guests. The alcove is outside the shoji, and the background is the garden of the neighbor's house.

This is the second tatami mat tea room. The tatami mats are 2 + 3/4 sheets, and it is a small tea room for the master to enjoy tea. There is no tokonoma space, and the tokonoma is the part of the wall covered with navy blue paper. You will never create such a luxurious space again.
