April 21, 2021 | Architecture, Culture, Design, Food, Travel | casabrutus.com | reopened on April 14 with a new shop/café after the renovation of five of the buildings. The concept of the renovation was "returning the building to the Edo period".

For example, the floor of the space that extends from the entrance to the back is paved with antique townhouse stone used in merchant houses in Kyoto, giving it a taste of the times. For the walls, we asked Akira Kusumi, a master plasterer, to paint the old-fashioned clay walls to make them look as uncharacteristic as possible. “I asked Mr. Kusumi, who happened to live near here, and the way the plaster is put in and how the cracks form when it dries are exquisite. I have worked with many different plasterers. However, this time the finish is outstanding.” (Sugimoto) On the earthen wall of the earthen floor, there is a signboard of Yakusugi cedar, which is currently impossible to cut down, and the letters “Kuromame” dancing on it. This is the handwriting of Sugimoto, who also wrote the title letters for the NHK Taiga drama "Seiten wo Tsuke". It is a playful mechanism that invites you to a merchant house in the Edo period. In addition, the black soybean display uses an old jujube-shaped washbasin. Just because it is said to have "returned to the architecture of the Edo period", it does not seem to have added anything characteristic at first glance. However, it is said that there were various invisible hardships behind the "undo". “Although it is a renovation, it is designated as a registered tangible cultural property, so drastic alterations cannot be made. In terms of earthquake resistance, it is basically necessary to increase the number of walls rather than using rough methods such as simply pounding reinforcing steel frames. If the structure is not solid, no amount of decoration will work, so 70 to 80% of the total design effort was spent on fixing the invisible parts of the building. (Sakakida) In this renovation, the shop space has been expanded more than before, and in addition to black soybeans and Dainagon azuki beans from Tanba Sasayama, the packaging of jars of boiled beans, sweets using beans, and processed foods such as black soybean tea has been renewed. sold as In addition, Tamba's special products such as cloth and pottery are also on sale.
