Japanese-Western Eclectic Style (Japanese Colonial Era) · Washitsu: Tatami and Western-Style Window

A Japanese-Western eclectic style washitsu in an old dormitory from the Japanese colonial period. The floor is covered with tatami mats, edged with dark fabric, and the straw mats have a warm beige color. On one side are paper doors and wooden-framed shoji screens that can be slid open to the engawa (veranda); on the other side, however, is a Western-style high window with a thick wooden frame and vertically sliding glass, with a higher windowsill covered with a piece of cloth. In the center of the room is a low wooden table with two cushions, and in a corner is an alcove with a vertical calligraphy scroll and a flower vase. The ceiling is a grid-patterned wooden ceiling. The walls have a light beige earthen texture. The overall impression is a coexistence of Japanese and Western details. Avoid: depicting the space as purely Japanese or purely Western, adding modern furniture, using high-saturation decorations, eliminating the aged texture of the wood.

一間日治時期老宿舍的和室。地面鋪著榻榻米,邊緣以深色的布邊收口,草蓆呈現溫暖的米黃色。一側是紙門與木框障子,可以推開通往緣側;另一側卻是洋式的高窗,有厚實的木質窗框與上下推拉的玻璃,窗台較高並鋪著一塊布。房間中央放一張矮木桌與兩個坐墊,角落有一個壁龕,內掛一幅直式書法並放一只花器。天花是格狀的木天花。牆面是淺米色的土牆質感。整體是日式與西式細部的並存。避免:把空間畫成純日式或純西式、加入現代家具、使用高彩度的裝飾、消除木料的年代質感。
