京都もやし町家
ABOUT HOUSE
再び、開かれる町家
かつて「もやし町家」が、酒の麹の種の栽培所として栄えていたころ、
麹菌の成長のようすを草花が萌えることに重ね合わせ種麹のことを
「もやし」と呼びはじめました。
120年以上の時を経て、古き良きものと現代の思いが重なり生まれ変わった
この空間で人と文化を通じて地域がつながり、新しい何かが芽生える
そのような世界に開かれる場所を目指しています。
Machiya - traditional Japanese townhouse -
opens its doors again.
Over 120 years ago, when Moyashi Machiya flourished as a plantation site
for seed malt for Sake,seed malt was called ‘Moyashi’,
a noun also used in Japanese language
describing the growthof flowers and plants, ‘Moeru’.
Moyashi Machiya, or seed malt townhouse, hence takes after its name
from what it has traditionally grown.
Today, Moyashi Machiya is reborn as the nexus, connecting people,
cultures and communities whilst embracing tradition and modernity.
Thus, from quintessentially Japanese Kyoto, we proudly introduce to the world,
Moyashi Machiya- a site for new seeds to grow.
