Tokonoma


Our "living room," which I use for the classroom, is  a traditional Japanese-style room with tatami straw mats, paper sliding shoji doors, and a tokonoma alcove where you can place flower vases and hanging scrolls. Can't afford any scrolls right now, but at least I can add some flowers to the tokonoma. The room also has a glass-enclosed sitting area on the south side called a hiroen where you can look out over the flowers, fruit trees, and shrubbery and the surrounding view.
