Tea and craft are markers of the coexistence between humans and nature. These elemental ingredients lie at the heart of Ogata at The Shinmonzen, a new teahouse and boutique in Kyoto that offers a contemporary reinterpretation of Japan’s traditional tea culture. The new space sits just behind the latticed façade of The Shinmonzen, an escapist, contemporary nine-suite hotel designed by Tadao Ando, on a quiet street in the Gion district.
