AMAZAKI COTTAGE RENOVATION PROJECT UPDATE
As the renovation of the Amazaki Cottage enters its final stage, the interior begins to reveal its quiet character.
The mortar kitchen base has been carefully laid, now resting as it awaits its micro-cement finish. Stone tiles are set in place, preparing an alcove that will soon hold a Hinoki bathtub, where the warmth and scent of wood will meet cool stone.
Throughout the house, handmade Maira-do, Fusuma, and Shoji doors have been installed β each one crafted by a local master joiner. Their presence brings rhythm and softness to the space, connecting rooms not by walls, but by light, shadow, and movement.
Layer by layer, the cottage is returning to life. Shaped by natural materials and skilled hands, it is becoming a place where time slows, and quiet details are allowed to speak.
