Kumo Machiya Stay Gion is like a house step back in time | Higashiyama-ku のヴィラ
Gion, Higashiyama-ku の 2 ベッドルーム ヴィラ
The space
The house was built on Meiji to Taisho period, which is more than 100 years old. All those years, It has been inherited within a Geisha family and operated as a ochaya (teahouses). where geiko (Kyoto dialect for geisha) and maiko (geiko apprentices) entertain by performing traditional music and dance. The performance will happen on the 1st floor only and 2nd floor is the for ladies only, where the Geiko and Maiko prepare themselves for the performance and makeup. As such, there are many interesting designs in the house for Geisha.
History and Features:
The house of Kumo.Gion was established in the Japanese Samurai era, which is more than 100 years ago. The building date is unclear, as the official record of Kyoto building is only dated up to 4th Taisho year (1915). The previous owner was once a geisha, and the house was inherited from the Edo period for five Geisha generations operated as the tea house (ochaya). When guests come to the house, maiko and geisha will carry out a performance. The 1st floor is the performance area, and the 2nd floor is the place where maiko and geisha can dress up. The structure and decoration details are designed for Geisha's daily life, for example, we have two stairs in two different directions, which is very rare in Kyoto. In this way geishas and their dressing maids can go downstairs in different directions, so the guests waiting in the lobby can only catch sight of geishas rather than maids.
Before Kumo.Gion starts operating as Boutique hotel, no male could go to the 2nd floor of the house. The Japanese ceilings of the two rooms upstairs very old are separately designed according to the patterns of cabin and maiko singing field. Illuminators on the in the house are antique lamps of the Taisho period, and some of their designs are inspired by Geisha culture in Gion. We also selected Kyoto specialties like Nishijin Kimono belt with colorful but traditional patterns to decorate the bedrooms.
There is an exquisite Japanese garden embraced by the house. There are camellia japonica, nandina, red leaves, hydrangea serrata, Japanese apricot, orchid, chrysanthemum and other flowers and plants from Japan. You can open the window and experience the breeze from the garden and enjoy the changing seasons while taking a long bath in the bathtub. You can also try to practice Zen, by sitting with the nature and sensing the inside and sensing the moment. Besides, it is available to wear clogs on the quartzite and step into the garden. At the moment, you can have a ladle of clean water to wash hands and baptize the spirit.
We also collected antique paintings for Kumo Machiya. We change the paintings as the season changes. For Spring, summer and autumn, there are three pieces of fish by Tanaka Bai Yin, a famous painter in Meiji. Tanaka Bai Yin is the student of Japanese literati painting master Tanomura Cyokunyu. Painting manifests spring with plecoglossus altivelis, summer with globefish and autumn with shrimp. For winter, we chose a piece by the famous painter Matsumura Keibun of the edo period. Matsumura Keibun is the representative of the Japanese flower-and-bird painting, who is known as the “Flower-bird Keibun". The Painting takes the toon flower blooming in the winter to represent winter, and the camellia is just the chief species in the Kumo.Gion garden.
It is worth mentioning that all beddings, mattresses, pillows and cushions in the house are specially custom-made for Kumo.Gion by the shop Los Takaoka Ya in Kyoto with more than 400 years history. We hope you enjoy the of sleep as the noble warriors in Azuchi-Momoyama period.
