The floor post is made of rusted Japanese cypress logs; the otoshikake lintel is solid red cedar with a three-sided hand-hewn finish; the floor boards are solid Japanese cypress; and the black bamboo used for the coffered ceiling were all selected together with the owner at a lumber shop in Shinkiba. The walls are finished with diatomaceous earth plaster, custom-mixed in green and white and applied with a dragged trowel finish. The fusuma paper for the closet is Edo karakami S-895 (Tokyo Matsuya).
