“Sitting on engawa (Japanese style porch)”

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Nanaha Corporation is a company that introduces “a new form of Japan” to the world through “matcha” (powdered green tea). They arrange high grade matchas in modern style and provide them as a menu such as matcha latte. And their intention is to make the space into a “contemporary style tea room”, not a “Japanese style tea room”.

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Japanese character en, which means bond, can also be read fuchi, which means frame.

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Therefore, the letter has a double meaning of separating something with a frame and connecting something with a bond (quoted from cha no yu \/ supervised by omotesenke). This time I used “en” to connect not only the store and the customers but the customers and other customers. What I actually did was to make a bench with laminated woods to resemble engawa. By changing the height of a long bench, the bench becomes a table of the next seat and by changing the height again, it becomes a passage.
As a result, the whole store is designed like a one big engawa and the customers are able to be connected by watching the moon together.
