Isshi-no-ma The elegant study strongly reflects the stylistic elements of Katsura Imperial Villa in the circular window, outside veranda, shoji doors and ceiling boards. The tatami mats can be removed to reveal Noh (Japanese opera) stage and the transom carvings are an elegant openwork of wild chrysanthemum and phoenix. As one sits by the veranda, the view of the garden that gives the sense of a breeze from the river, is too beautiful for words.
