Our inn is decorated with numerous artworks inherited from generations before ours. We consider both what we have inherited and what we want to pass on to future generations, and strive to create a harmony between the good old and the good new, including both antique and contemporary art.

The hanging scrolls displayed in the alcoves of the standard guest rooms of our inn are
This work is by the active artist Uota Masami, who uses traditional Japanese colored washi paper.

This scroll is a modern take on the concept of "scroll mounting," the art of Japanese hospitality that has been used since ancient times in the alcoves of inns. After several meetings with Uota, he accepted my unreasonable request to create a scroll using traditional colored Japanese paper and wheat straw, a traditional craft of Kinosaki.
Mr. Uota's sense has been fully expressed in these luxurious scrolls that will brighten up the guest rooms. Each piece is unique, and each room will have its own unique style of hospitality.
There is no doubt that you will be able to get a sense of the "impression of the scroll mounting."

The hanging scrolls in the tokonoma alcoves of the "Special Room Evergreen" and "Semi-Special Room Chrysanthemum"
Works by photographer Kazuya Sudo are on display.
During our meeting, Sudo asked us to tell him about a scene from his hometown that had stayed in his memory, and he spent several days photographing the location we told him about.
The work and style of the painting blend perfectly with the alcove and the special room's hanging scrolls, and it fits in so well with the nostalgic charm of the Japanese-style room that it is easy to mistake it for a work that was not taken recently.
