Almost everyone I talked to about Japanese design had been referring to Kyoto as the origin of the traditional WABI-SABI feeling. Therefore I had to go on a side trip to Kyoto.

We stayed at an old RYOKAN built in 1909 with tatami-matted rooms, communal baths, small Japanese garden in the courtyard, sliding doors and lovely owners who told us stories about the house and the visitors while serving green tea and breakfast.
