Whether it is decorative wall or the ceiling of the restaurant,

In front of the elevator on each floor,
soft colors of the combination of traditional and modern decoration walls

Point ①
Hieroglyphics？
Japanese traditional painting quiz!
 |
| What is the meaning of the paintings? |
When you walk into the room,
you will find a painting on top of the bed.
horses, chess, turtles, tabi (Japanese-styled socks), horsetails
What do they mean?

| Here is the answer! |
If you understand Japanese,
you might feel much more interesting.
Anyways,
Japanese chess pieces "Car" pronounces as KYOSHA (香車);
”Horse” pronounces as UMA or BA (馬)；
"4" in four horses pronounces as SHI or YON (四).
Then, try to combine them together
KYO-BA-SHI
That's Kyobashi (京橋)
The name of this area!
Isn't it interesting?
Seems young people do not really know the tricks recently in Japan.
Point ②
Specialty from a lacquer shop of 328-year history
Tableware tray and tissue box in the room look simple;
in fact, they are traditional arts and crafts.
These crafts are from the lacquer shop of 328-year history, Kuroeya (黒江屋)
Crafts from Edo Period are still retaining well on the appearance.
How impressed to feel the importance of cultural heritage.
