In Ancient Japan, the kitchen was a place of simplicity and harmony. Adding a granite waterfall countertop to the kitchen would have been a reflection of the Japanese aesthetic of beauty in imperfection. The granite material, with its natural variations and patterns, would have added a sense of organic beauty to the space. The waterfall design of the countertop created a seamless flow from the countertop to the floor, enhancing the overall tranquility and balance of the kitchen. The granite countertop also provided a durable and heat-resistant surface for food preparation.
