Intricate details adorn the room's interior, showcasing elements unique to East Asian culture. From elegant sliding doors adorned with intricate patterns to decorative screens depicting scenic landscapes, every aspect reflects the refined aesthetics of Japan during that era. The presence of both male and female figures highlights the inclusive nature of these gatherings, where people from all walks of life could come together for shared enjoyment.
