THE RYOKAN COLLECTION

In the finely kept grounds are bamboo rock gardens surrounded by pine forests and bamboo copses; a magnificent 300-year-old maple tree spreads its boughs over the grounds. The traditional low roof tile-topped wall recalls the site's past and enhances the timeless atmosphere of elegance, serenity and quiet.
The Shop has some particularly fine examples of yosegi-zukuri, the Hakone area's lovely and distinctive parquet-style ornamentation, on boxes, tableware, chopsticks and other items.
