About Tokumitsu Taanto Innanrými almenningssalernis
Tokumitsu Taanto er innanrými almenningssalernis staðsett í Hakusan, Ishikawa, Japan. Rýmið nær yfir 25 fermetra og lofthæðin er 2,90 metrar. Meira en 3.000 gullþynnuflísar þekja veggina. Hver flís er 200 millimetra ferningslaga postulínsflís með áferðarríku yfirborði, fullunnin með handlagðri Kanazawa-gullþynnu. Flísarnar eru settar á dökkan bakgrunn og óbeinni lýsingu er komið fyrir til að draga fram endurskinseiginleika gullsins. Hönnunin beitir hefðbundnu japönsku handverki í nútímalegu almenningsrými.
