庭作り: ザ・デッキ Garden-Making: The Deck

November 8, 2012: 亀清旅館 Kamesei Ryokan

New garden deck for 'Yayoi'

この間に書いた様に、亀清旅館の客室「弥生」の庭を作り始まりました。この庭は割と広いです。お客さんは室内だけではなくて、天気の良い日は外に出て庭の中からも楽しんで頂けたら良いと思いました。

その為に木造のデッキを作ってみました。

日本旅館にガーデンデッキが付いている客室が少ないかもしれないけど、それこそ我々アメリカ人はウッドデッキが大好き。その良さも少しでも取り組んでみたいと思いました。

As mentioned in a previous entry, I am working on creating a waterfall for the garden of Kamesei Ryokan's guestroom "Yayoi". Rather than just having the garden to be enjoyed from inside the guestroom, as it is a fairly spacious garden I decided to build a wood deck. That way on days with warm weather, guests can venture outside and enjoy the garden from the deck, as well.

Probably not too many Japanese ryokans have guestrooms with their own garden decks. But we Americans love wood decks, and I decided to add a touch of garden construction from back home.
