Bottom right; Neo kikka seki (39 cm w x 19 cm d x 42 cm h) with a single large ower
in wood framed glass boxes. e most impressive room was the tokonoma display. Each tokonoma was generously laid out. Triangular partitions divided the display area into sections of 2.20 m wide. Walls and the background of a middle row of general entries were pure white, the carpet covering the display oor was dark blue and the dark violet curtains and tassels were suspended from the ceiling. Scrolls were hung nearly in the middle of the display space whereas the display stands were placed to one side overlapping the scrolls to some extent. All in all a very elegant layout.
