A tokonoma is a traditional Japanese alcove found in homes and tea rooms, designed to display art and decorative items. It typically features a scroll, known as a kakejiku, and an arrangement of flowers, called ikebana. The tokonoma serves as a focal point in a room, reflecting the aesthetic values of simplicity and harmony. In addition to its decorative purpose, the tokonoma is a space for contemplation and appreciation of beauty. It often showcases seasonal themes, connecting the interior with nature. The careful selection of items displayed in the tokonoma highlights the importance of mindfulness in Japanese culture.
