A chance encounter with renowned tea master Yamashita prompted a reconsideration of the tokonoma. Rather than a fixed architectural element, it revealed itself as an idea that could be reinterpreted across different scales and settings. By distilling its essential qualities, the tokonoma could be reimagined for contemporary interiors and furniture while retaining its spirit of contemplation and quiet presence. This exploration led to the creation of Tokonoma 2, a new conceptual installation that reinterprets the traditional alcove as a contemporary spatial experience.
