Vision and Descriptions
Our long-range vision is to broaden the concept of Japanese traditional wooden barrels (kioke), so this master craft genre will grow and flourish for at least the next 100 years. To that end, we have created a portable “Wooden Barrel Tearoom” that can be easily moved and assembled for indoor and outdoor events as well as for permanent installation.
