About the Space
Tetsugei-An is a multi-use space where the history of Jurakumawari in Nakagyo, Kyoto, the memory of ironwork, and contemporary aesthetics converge — a place for living, exhibiting, and shooting.
The aged lathe at the entrance, the steel joinery, plastered walls, hand-textured timber floors, and exposed structural iron are not mere interior design — they are the very history embedded in this building.
A place to live in, a place to exhibit, a place to borrow a world. That is the essence of Tetsugei-An.
