Cowra Japanese Garden has unveiled the newly restored roof on its Cultural Centre and Café in January, 2019.

The roof replacement on the 1,000 sqm building utilised sekisyu tiles, traditional hand-glazed tiles from Shimane Prefecture in Western Japan. The use of sekisyu tiles, a staple of Edo Period (1603-1868) architecture, preserves the integrity of the Edo style architecture of the Cultural Centre and Café. 

The RAKU dining project in Canberra began with communication from trusted Sydney-based architects, Facet Studio. The goal was to find materials that would bring the owner's vision of authenticity to life for a new Japanese restaurant in Canberra. We believed ceramic tile by Kamedani, with their natural beauty shaped by the Japanese landscape, were the perfect choice to represent this concept.
