盆栽カフェの茶室

青山の片隅、盆栽を眺めながら抹茶を一服。その奥には、外の音を断った一畳の茶室が隠れている。

流行の発信地・青山に、和の静けさが不意に立ち上がる

盆栽を愛でながら抹茶を一服できるカフェで、点茶のカウンターには炉を切り、暗く落とした空間に名木が一鉢ずつ浮かぶ。
その奥に、一畳の点前座・腰掛けの待合・床の間・水屋をひとつにまとめた小さな茶室がある。
入口はにじり口を思わせる引戸で、砂に据えた飛石を渡って入る。

瞑想のために防音とし、雲を透かした欄間や、砂と玉石の枯流れが、街の只中にひとつの間（ま）を編んでいる。

街路にひらく、夜の店構え

注連縄を渡した暗い庇の下に、灯をまとった松と盆栽。

街路から数段のぼれば、もう和の領域へと招かれている

A cedar sliding door opens to a hidden tea room, stepping stones crossing a bed of sand in quiet Japanese architecture.

砂の庭を渡って、茶室へ

じり口を思わせる杉の引戸が開き、砂に据えた飛石が奥の茶室へと続く。

客は一歩ごとに、街の喧噪から離れていく。

A sculptural bonsai stands framed by green-edged blinds, the counter and a lit niche behind it in the japanese cafe.

簾の奥、一樹を仰ぐ

緑の縁取りの簾が額縁となり、その中央に一樹の盆栽が静かに立つ。

背後では点茶のカウンターと飾り棚が、淡く灯っている。

A timber transom carved with drifting clouds glows above a doorway, openwork joinery of Japanese architecture.

雲を透かした、欄間ひとつ

戸口の上に、雲の地紋を透かし彫りにした欄間。

背後の灯りが文様を浮かび上がらせ、小さな空間に奥行きを与える。
