We wish you a Happy New Year!!
My family and I stayed traditional Japanese hotel at Atami onsen, hot spling, in the new year. We walked into Kiunkaku Villa on the way to the hotel. This photo was taken in the villa. The villa was used as a traditional hotel, and was loved by men of literature such as Junichiro Tanizaki and Osamu Dazai.
It is said the building was built in 1919 and reconstructed here. This is a historical and cultural heritage.
あけましておめでとうございます！お正月に熱海に行ってきました。谷崎潤一郎や太宰治が愛した旅館「起雲閣」、素晴らしかったです。
Oh, I like that! The interior is beautyfull. What a pity it would not work for us - with for example a bucket of lego all over the room. :)

I love the interior too. I hope my room would be like that...my room is like a showroom of sewing machines!

sewing machines... sounds familiar! I have a bernina 1008 and a bernina 1100D serger on a workbench in the bedroom. I´m sure any Feng shui consult would think I´m crazy. There is also several kilos of wool,yarn and farics and a 150 year old spinnng wheel... Tommi has not complained yet. :)

Wow! Your bedroom is like mine. I also have a bernina 1240 and Janome coverstitch sewing machine in the bedroom.
>I´m sure any Feng shui consult would think I´m crazy.
Hahaha! I'm the one too.
You have the antique spinning wheel.. I want to see the picture some time.
Well...bernina serger is what I want for a long time but they don't have in Japan.
