About Sushi Chèz

Sushi se yon chèz ki fèt pou kay ak lòt espas anndan. Estrikti a fèt alamen ak bwa nòb epi li gen fòm liy senp ak ang jeyometrik klè. Pyès yo fèt youn pa youn epi kole ansanm, selon metòd tradisyonèl bòs chapant. Twal ki gen teksti bay konfò nan syèj la ak nan do sirendrik la, pandan detay an kwiv konplete pyès la. Do a fikse yon fason ki pèmèt yo ranplase twal la pita. Chèz la gen 520 mm lajè, 500 mm pwofondè ak 810 mm wotè.
