A note to you from the sixth generation.

Kanazawa, Ishikawa

I await you at the edge of the old teahouse district.

This house has stood for 150 years.

I opened this house of a Kaga-domain paper merchant to guests. Its pillars and beams are the ones it was built with.

Only the plumbing and the lighting have been changed.

Rooms

Eight rooms made ready.

Every room has tatami underfoot. The scroll in each alcove is changed with the season.

Table

One dish at a time.

Kaga vegetables and fish from the Japan Sea, set out on Wajima lacquer. The menu follows the season.

In your room, or in the detached dining house — whichever you prefer.

Garden

Come and see the sand and moss.

The garden is some ten tsubo. The gardener comes once a month, so that it is not tended too hard.

At night I open the snow-viewing screens and set out a single light.
