Tokonoma (Tokonoma) is a specially designated space or alcove in Japanese housing, intended for the display of artworks such as ikebana (arrangements of fresh flowers), ceramics, kakemono (calligraphic or painted scrolls), and other items.
The tokonoma usually has a higher floor than the rest of the room and is framed with a curtain or decorative board. The location and design of the tokonoma are always carefully considered, as this space is regarded as an important part of the interior and should harmoniously blend with the rest of the room.
This element of Japanese architecture originated during the Muromachi period (1336-1573) and was closely linked to the development of the tea ceremony in Japan.
