About Tokumitsu Taanto Interior sa Publikong Kasilyas

Ang Tokumitsu Taanto usa ka interior sa publikong kasilyas nga nahimutang sa Hakusan, Ishikawa, Japan. Ang kwarto adunay gilapdon nga 25 metros kwadrado ug adunay gitas-on sa kisame nga 2.90 metros. Kapin sa 3,000 ka tile nga adunay gold leaf ang mitabon sa mga bungbong. Ang matag tile usa ka 200 milimetros nga kwadradong porselana nga tile nga adunay texturadong ibabaw, nga gihuman pinaagi sa gold leaf sa Kanazawa nga gibutang pinaagi sa kamot. Ang mga tile gipahimutang batok sa ngitngit nga background, ug ang indirect nga suga gihan-ay aron mapakita ang masinaw nga kalidad sa bulawan. Ang disenyo naggamit sa usa ka tradisyonal nga Japanese nga craft ngadto sa usa ka kontemporaryong publikong luna.
