Japanese tea ceremonies are famous the world over for the class, tradition and the ultimate way to unwind with the tea leaves settling in your warm cup. And now you can experience the same at your residence with the extraordinary Hitoma portable tea room that comes from Japan Brand Pop Up Shop.

Minimalist in its decor, the tea room stands for tradition, fun and an escape route from all worldly troubles. We hear that Kishu timber has been used to make this one. For the uninitiated, it is a high-quality cedar from the city of Gobo famous for its superb grain patterns and a long-life span.

Hitoma has the typical Japanese sliding doors that are covered with bamboo paper with a slight calligraphy or a woodblock print. The overall effect is completed by tatami mats lining the floor. And just in case, you are not very fond of tea, this one’s still a good hideout with any of your favorite drinks, and not tea necessarily.

In this fast moving world, everybody needs a break to pamper oneself once in a while. One thing that attracts me the most at the moment is Hitoma. It is a gigantic portable tea room and it has the ability to transform any ordinary room into the perfect tea or meditation retreat. We often neglect to focus on medication as we are too occupied with our daily routines.

Hitoma is originally dispatched from the Japan Brand Pop Up Shop and is currently available at NYC’s Felissimo till 30 May 2009. Besides the latest fashion accessories, kitchen props and home decor, which come straight from Japan, Hitoma is the centre of attraction. Hitoma literally signifies a room that is used to promote a time and place for relaxation. It is built using Kishu timber. It is a high quality cedar from the city of Gobo.

It is known for its extraordinary grain patterns and long life span. The sliding doors are covered in bamboo paper display calligraphy. The floor is covered by tatami mats. This tea room is developed by the Gobo Chamber of Commerce and Industry. It is retailed for $18,000. This is not a bad deal considering the serene features it has.
