Three-tiered staggered shelves that represent the mist next to a circular window that lets in the light from the Butsama (room for an altar) in the back to resemble the moon. It is a tranquil space that exhibits the master carpenter’s attention to detail throughout from the sliding doors in grey Japanese paper to the metal door handle shaped like a bat and the veranda of solid Sendai pine.
