What is a Japanese-style room?

A Japanese-style room is a room style representative of traditional Japanese living space. Its distinctive feature is the tatami floor, which is made of compressed natural rice straw. Tatami not only provides a pleasant sensation underfoot, but also naturally regulates the temperature and humidity in the room.
Fittings such as shoji screens and fusuma sliding doors are another major attraction of Japanese-style rooms. Soft light shining through shoji screens creates beautiful shadows in the room that change with the seasons and with time.
The beauty of the Japanese-style room also lies in its versatility. It can be used as a place to eat in the morning, a place to work or serve guests in the afternoon, and a bedroom at night. The simple yet sophisticated Japanese design creates an ideal space where one can relax and spend peaceful time.
By combining these traditional elements with modern comforts, the modern Japanese room is an attractive living space that combines the spirituality of Japanese architecture with modern conveniences.

Traditional Elements Adding Color to Japanese-style Rooms
The Japanese-style room is composed of several main elements.Each has a unique influence on the ambience and use of the room.

Tokonoma
The alcove is the decorative focal point of the Japanese-style room, where paintings, calligraphy, or ikebana are displayed.The presence of an alcove adds cultural depth to the room and provides aesthetic enjoyment to its occupants and visitors.

Fusuma
Fusuma, sliding doors used to divide rooms within a Japanese room, are decorated with traditional Japanese art and patterns to emphasize the artistic elements of a Japanese room.Fusuma sliding doors can be used to create larger spaces as needed while still maintaining privacy.

Shoji
Shoji, sliding doors with a wooden frame covered with Japanese paper, create a calm atmosphere by allowing light to enter the room in a soft and diffuse way. The design of shoji screens is simple yet elegant, and serves as a kind of filter for enjoying the scenery outside.

Tatami
The floor of a Japanese-style room is usually covered with a soft straw mat called a tatami mat. Tatami mats provide cushioning and a comfortable walking feel. The natural aroma and feel of tatami promotes relaxation and plays a major role in the overall ambience of a Japanese-style room.
