The room
About Hinoki.
This room was a studio once, and it still has the light of one. When the house became ours, a tatami craftsman from Shimizu laid new Ryukyu rush, edged without borders the Okinawan way, lined the room in hinoki and opened an engawa to the garden, so you can sit with your feet towards the trees and a cup of tea in your hands.

In the alcove hangs a landscape scroll signed Gyokuhō (玉峰), which we attribute to Hasegawa Gyokuhō, a Kyoto painter of the Shijō school who lived from 1822 to 1879. Below it on walnut shelves are an Imari plate, a gilded fan, old sake cups and pottery from Sado Island. In the corner is the vanity: a speckled stone basin, a brass tap shaped like bamboo, and a round mirror that glows at dusk and doubles the garden in the window.
At night we lay futons on the tatami for up to five, on deep mattresses if you'd prefer them. Slide the door open in the morning and the bay is there, at the far end of the walnut table.
- Scent: Hinoki, and new tatami.
- Sound: The garden after rain.
- Light: Green light through the low window.
- Touch: Cool, ridged tatami under bare feet.
