SETSU-AN (節庵) is an itinerant tea house — small enough to seat two or three people in stillness — built by the hands of Luxembourg residents under the guidance of master carpenter Norbert Brakonier and invited Japanese instructors, using kigumi (木組み): the traditional joinery that joins timber without a single nail.

The project is the architecture field of the 2027 programme marking 100 years of friendship between Luxembourg and Japan, and forms one thread within the wider 24 Sekki (二十四節気) programme of Echoes of Japan ASBL — a year unfolding in step with Japan's 24 seasonal nodes.

SETSU-AN is not a passive exhibition. It is a vessel for people to slow down, work with their hands, and encounter Japanese spatial philosophy — ma (間), meaningful emptiness — through the act of making rather than watching.
