Japan

This winter @zujapan is helping with a 茶室 (chashitsu) traditional Japanese tea house in the backyard of Akiya Collective's makerspace led by resident Liechtensteiner artist Mike Heidegger who has studied miyadaiku style carpentry in Japan. 

The Akiya makerspace had been abandoned for years causing environmental and economic impact to our area. With this custom artisanal tea house, we are not only beautifying the area we are bringing huge economic stimulus to our local economy!

We want share our progress over the past month for the @octant community so here are some clips from the past month. Make sure to scroll and to see the house take shape!

We’re using locally harvested lumber, traditional Japanese hand tools, and some help from our neighbors to create the structure, walls, and shingles of the 茶室. 

Here Mike is debarking beams with an axe to prepare them as the main housing posts.
