These compact, traditional Japanese gardens are known as “tsuboniwa,” were essential in traditional machiya homes.

Showcasing Kyoto’s Craftsmanship Handcrafted Kyo-karakami (hand-stamped traditional paper) decorate sliding doors and walls to showcase the skills of Kyoto’s craftsmen. The motif featured here is known as “gosan-no-kiri” - featuring leaves of the auspicious Paulownia tree. This particular crest was created specifically for the Emperor of Japan.

Traditional Machiya Architecture A quintessential Kyoto-style machiya exterior. It features wooden ‘koshi’ lattice, a ‘noren’ entrance curtain, and a window on the 2nd floor known as a ‘mushiko mado’. If you look closely at the roof of the 1st floor, you’ll notice a little figurine. This figure is of ‘shoki-san’ - a guardian of machiya homes. Many machiya homes place this on the roof to protect and ward off evil spirits that may enter one's home!
