"The sukiya style, originating in the ceremonial teahouse under minka influence, was expanded to include private residences, restaurants, and inns.

Through its extremely functional planning, its sensitive use of materials, and its aesthetic consciousness, it has exerted a strong influence on modern architecture and has extended this influence to Western architecture as well."
