YOUR HOME | A Dialogue of Earth and Art
RAKUDOAN | Elemental Sanctuary
Nestled amidst the timeless rhythm of Tonami’s emerald rice paddies, RAKUDOAN is a 120-year-old Azuma-dachi estate that has been artfully reimagined. This is not merely a restoration of structure, but a revival of the senses. Here, the architecture breathes, inviting you to touch the living history of paper, silk, and soil—materials imbued with the raw, quiet power of nature.
PAPER | The Ethereal Glow
Step into a space defined by soft luminescence and delicate strength. Inspired by the artisanal heritage of Japanese washi, the Paper suite is a study in serenity. Here, light does not merely enter; it is filtered through textured screens, casting a warm, diffused glow that softens the edges of the day. The boundaries of the room feel weightless, inviting a meditative state where the rustling of the rice paddies outside feels like a natural extension of the interior’s gentle hush.
SILK | A Lustrous Embrace
Elegant, fluid, and steeped in history, the Silk suite offers a cocoon of refined luxury. Drawing inspiration from the region’s textile legacy, this room celebrates the interplay of light and luster. Smooth, woven textures harmonize with the verdant landscape visible through the windows, creating a sensation of being wrapped in the landscape itself. It is a space of graceful movement and quiet indulgence, where the shimmering quality of the interior mirrors the water dancing across the fields.
SOIL | Rooted in the Earth
Ground yourself in the profound quiet of the Soil suite. Reviving the traditional tsuchikabe (earthen walls) technique, this room breathes with the warmth and raw beauty of the land. It is a sanctuary of substance and texture, where the rich, organic tones of the earth provide a deep sense of security and calm. The robust materiality of the suite creates a powerful contrast to the open sky, anchoring you in the "here and now" while the timeless cycle of nature unfolds just beyond the glass.
