How is the “Kobito Ryokan” made in miniature, recreating the “mysterious space” at the window of the inn?



If you go to a ryokan or a hotel with a slightly old design, there is a “mysterious space” where chairs and tables are placed by the windows even in Japanese-style rooms. That is' Wide edge ( Hiroen ) It is a remnant of the time when the rooms were connected in the outer corridor. When the inner corridor was created, it was separated into spaces for each room and became the current shape. Mozu, an artist who likes that space, has reproduced it as a miniature “Ryokan” and the making of it is also available.



The making video is this.

The refrigerator installed in the wide edge has the same specifications as a real refrigerator where the light turns on when the door is opened.



Safe can be opened and closed. One side is the size of a fingertip.



Since playing cards are smaller, each card is smaller than a nail.



Are you playing “Speed”? I feel rather uncomfortable with the one-yen coins on display.



The tweezers are finely assembled ...



It was a shoji.



The framework is complete.



There are boards on the ceiling.



I feel like I'm looking up at the ceiling from the inside of the room.



I know that it is a miniature because it has a comparison with a one-yen coin, but I am still surprised by the size seen from a distance.



By placing the iPad, you can freely change the scenery that appears outside the window.



'Room with a view of Mt. Fuji'



'Underwater room'



You can create a variety of rooms



As mentioned in the making process, Mozu is also the person who made the “Stair of Stairs” before. Not only looks, but it is possible to really go up the stairs, and even the door of the room that is up is made.
