Light Japanese Style • Bathroom: Hinoki Bathtub and Wet/Dry Separation

A light Japanese-style bathroom: The bathtub is a square cypress tub, unpainted, showing varying shades of color and a faint woody scent when wet. Next to it is the showering area, with a low wooden stool and a handheld showerhead. The floor is dark gray stone slabs with wider grout lines. The lower part of the walls is the same colored stone slabs, and the upper part is off-white waterproof plaster. The basin is a rustic ceramic bowl placed on a light wood countertop, with a brass faucet. The mirror is a frameless circle. A small wooden lattice window lets in soft light, with a small clump of bamboo outside. The air has humidity. Avoid: using acrylic or cast iron bathtubs, glossy tiles on the walls, chrome-plated hardware, adding modern shower enclosures.

一間輕日系的衛浴:浴槽是檜木箍成的方形浴桶,未上漆,浸水後呈現深淺不一的顏色與淡淡的木香。旁邊是沖洗區,有一張矮的木凳與手持花灑,地坪是深灰的石板,縫較寬。牆面下段是同色石板,上段是米白的防水灰泥。面盆是一只粗陶的缽放在淺木檯面上,水龍頭是黃銅的。鏡子是無框的圓形。一扇小的木格窗透進柔和的光,窗外是一小叢竹子。空氣中有濕度。避免:浴槽使用壓克力或鑄鐵、牆面貼亮面磁磚、五金使用鍍鉻、加入現代的淋浴隔間。
