松の間 MATSUNOMA 7
隅々に残された、
江戸時代末期の面影。
悠久の自然と同様に、時を重ねて受け継がれてきたものには、人の心を動かす力があります。松の間は、1850年代に建てられた母屋にある一室。幾度か改修しながらも、火鉢を使っていた頃に黒く煤けた壁や天井はあえてそのままに。窓硝子は大正～昭和初期のもので、当時は一枚ずつ手作りだったため、わずかに歪みがあり、庭の眺めまでどこか懐かしい心地にしてくれます。
Echoes of the late Edo period can be felt in every corner
As with nature immemorial, items passed through the hands of time hold the power to move hearts. Matsu-no-ma (literally the ‘pine room’) is a room in Kikunoi’s main building, which was built during the 1850s. Though having been renovated several times, the walls and ceilings remain untouched; blackened by the use of hibachi braziers. The glass in the windows dates back to the Taisho and early Showa periods. Glass was handmade piece by piece in those days, and though slightly warped they only add to the nostalgic feel guests have when viewing the garden.
