Do you know that there is a word "Cafe" in the old Zen language. This is said to mean "Please come and have tea." We examine seasonal tea leaves that match the season and take a break with warm tea. Such time brings rich colors to ordinary everyday life. Let's start the life of a little bit from the time of tea.
This time, to the designer of "matohu", a brand that widely transmits the original Japanese style style to the world, including history and culture, with the concept of "creation of new clothes through which Japan's aesthetic sense goes through". , I asked about the charm of the cafe.

"Matohu" designer Makiko Sekiguchi, Hiroyuki Horibata
When you enter a 60-year-old single-story building, you will find a nice living table with old fittings. There is a casual Ryukyu tatami space on the opposite side of it. A pleasant space full of nostalgia is the residence of Hiroho Horibata and Makiko Sekiguchi, designers of the clothing brand matohu. It has been about four years ago that the two women who have adopted Japanese aesthetics in fashion began to learn sowa tea. At the same time, I invited a friend and started to hold a small tea ceremony at home.

Mr. Horibata said, "It's very interesting to think about the combination of tea tools, but it's very interesting." It is said that there are more old-fashioned shops and galleries than specialty stores to buy tea utensils. The Kuroiso tea bowl of this day is the work of former Marimekko designer, Fujio Ishimoto. Unlike the vivid Marimekko design, it is attracted to the introspective atmosphere. Deadly in the wind blows winter
My motto is "I'm serious about being stupid", and I am having fun and having fun every day.
