Rakushin

Osaka

Apr.2013

路地を入ると木造土壁家屋が並び、都心ながらも不思議にスローな空気が流れる福島一丁目の細い路地奥。その中にひと際品格を放つのれんがひっそりとゆれる。凛とした白い肌のイチョウのカウンター。その奥に見える坪庭は壁に墨を練り込み豊かな陰影を生み出す。この坪庭は外部にあり気候や時間と共に景色は移ろい変わっていく。大甕は名工・内田鋼一によるもの。坪庭は料理を楽しんで頂く為、空間をつなぎ広げる景色の変わる余白として残した。年月を経て時代を刻んだ味わいのある木造の構造柱は壁に内包させず壁をずらすことで柱を表し、エントランスのアプローチからカウンター席やテーブル席まで連続的に見せることで空間にリズムを生みだすものとした。“たのしむこころ”と書いて楽心。お客様にお越し頂くたびにお料理から空間まで景色が変わり進化を楽しんでいただけるものを目指した。

 

This shop is located at a block off the busy Osaka streets. With a refined looking curtain hung at the entrance, there is a white counter made from a ginkgo tree and an inner garden with a black ink painted on the wall, which shows many different faces. This inner garden is actually located outside the restaurant therefore people can enjoy a scenery depending on the weather on each day. A big vase was produced by a famous pottery maker, Mr. Koichi Uchida. The wood structural column was left exposed on purpose, not hidden by the wall, and when coming in from the entrance toward the counter and table area, consecutive changing scenes of the shop can be enjoyed. RAKUSHIN consists of RAKU (pleasure in Japanese) and SHIN ( heart in Japanese) = feel the pleasure in your heart, hoping the customer will enjoy ever changing scenes as well as ever evolving tastes.
