At the heart of the room stands a two-thousand-year-old Yakusugi cedar, a testament to the ancient splendor of Yakushima Island, recognized as a World Heritage site. Obtained through a rare auction, this magnificent cedar was carefully transformed into a remarkable centerpiece by master woodworkers, who skillfully selected the best sections using their expert "wood-reading" techniques. It took two days of precise craftsmanship, using a traditional large saw called "ooga," to transform this ancient treasure into a work of art. Embracing the Yakusugi cedar, you'll find exquisite calligraphy and folding screens. These artistic creations were meticulously crafted by renowned calligrapher Rieko Kawabe. The first-floor calligraphy features a unique composition known as "Mawariuta," an ancient poem that can be read both from top to bottom and vice versa, symbolizing good luck and fulfilled wishes. The folding screen on the second floor depicts the Japanese character "Chiyo" (千世) using vibrant shades of bright and deep blue, representing the ever-changing faces of the ocean. Adorning the second-floor ceiling, you'll discover the helm handle of a Kitamae ship, a historic vessel that played a vital role in Japan's economic and cultural development during the Edo period.
