Kai-Hanare houses experimental works by Miura and his collaborators, including carpenters, woodworkers and craftspeople working in specific media, such as paper, bamboo, and aluminum. It is not usually open to the public, though it has been used to host meals and serve tea to special guests. The utensils and furnishings were created to reflect the tastes of the craftspeople making them as well as the people using them; and they will be shown publicly for the first time during this project. For Go for Kogei, Miura is hosting an event inspired by medieval tea gatherings (called rinkan chanoyu). These gatherings are thought to predate the formalization of the tea ceremony and featured bathing, tea-drinking and dining. Miura’s event is called Rinkan Soji, and offers the chance to casually drink tea as well as special events that incorporate bathing and dining.
