SUKU

Hotel

越前和紙を体感する工芸宿「SUKU」は、紙を”漉く”と”宿”の２つの意味を込めて名付けられた、和紙産地に静かに佇む３部屋のみの宿です。紙の”みみ”を模してデザインされたSUKUののれんをくぐり、16の事業者の白い和紙を貼り重ねたレセプションで出迎えます。客室は、「楮(コウゾ)」「三椏(ミツマタ)」「雁皮(ガンピ)」と和紙の原材料の名前が冠され、それぞれの客室を名前にちなんだアートワークが彩ります。和紙職人16名の和紙がふんだんに使われた壁紙や障子や提灯など、従来和紙が使われてきたものには越前和紙の歴史や技を感じてもらえます。また、照明・家具・インテリアなどは、これまでとは異なる新しい和紙の活用の仕方で表現しました。客室内のあらゆる場所で越前和紙の伝統と進化を感じることができる宿です。 SUKU is a craft inn where guests can fully experience Echizen washi. Its name carries a dual meaning: suku, referring to the act of hand making paper, and shuku, meaning a place to stay. Quietly nestled in a traditional washi-producing area, SUKU is an intimate accommodation with only three guest rooms.Passing through the noren curtain designed in the image of the “ears” of handmade paper, guests are welcomed into a reception space where layers of white washi from 16 different makers are carefully assembled.The three guest rooms are named after the raw materials of washi Kozo, Mitsumata, and Gampi each adorned with artworks inspired by its namesake.Wall coverings, shoji screens, and lanterns made generously with washi by 16 master papermakers convey the history and craftsmanship of Echizen washi through its traditional applications.At the same time, lighting, furniture, and interior elements explore new and contemporary ways of using washi, presenting expressions beyond convention. Throughout the guest rooms, visitors can experience both the tradition and the ongoing evolution of Echizen washi. Architectural Design : zelt 柴山修平 Project Direction : TSUGI llc.
