在釜は、和のしつらいに京都のブランド「SOU・SOU」のスタイルを取り入れた、気軽に茶の湯の雰囲気を楽しめるカジュアルなお茶席です。「Water Land」は2009年に店内の壁に描かれましたが、改装で天井を取り払うことになり、現在では屋外の壁画として昼夜異なった表情を見せています。睡蓮や蓮にはじまる、水辺の世界を描いたKi-Yan作品は、青蓮院門跡の襖絵から始まりましたが、「SOU・SOU」とコラボした足袋などの商品でも身近に楽しむことができます。

 SOU・SOU Zaifu is a spot in Kyoto where you can experience the traditional atmosphere of chanoyu (Japanese tea ceremony) in a contemporary setting. Zaifu’ s modern Japanese interior features fabric products by SOU・SOU-a Kyoto-based brand producing unique fashion pieces and footwear. Ki-Yan’s mural ‘Water Land’ was originally painted in 2009 for SOU・SOU’s men’s apparel store Kei-i, but became part of the patio leading to Zaifu following renovations and the removal of the ceiling. Originally appearing on the fusuma sliding doors in Shõren-in Temple, these water based motifs, including motifs of lotus flowers, water lilies and frogs – can also be found on a number of SOU・SOU products made in collaboration with Ki-Yan, such as the brand’s signature jika-tabi (split-toe shoes).
