Room AI – Zen Genkan with Kumiko Cabinet and Granite Step

Japanese Zen mudroom with a raised granite genkan step set against dark vertical koshi slats. A compact dark‑stained cabinet with kumiko shippo lattice sits beside a wheel‑thrown earthenware umbrella stand and folded black umbrella, while a shallow copper dish with verdigris rests on the stone. Warm, hairline‑cracked plaster adds wabi‑sabi texture as slanting light sharpens the materials and calm, deliberate symmetry.
