The Ancient Japanese kitchen was a place where meals were prepared using traditional cooking techniques and utensils. To incorporate a coastal beach house theme with seashell accents, the kitchen can be designed with a minimalist and natural look. Seashell-shaped tiles can be used for the backsplash, and seashell-inspired knobs can be used for the cabinets. The walls can be adorned with Japanese calligraphy and artwork depicting coastal scenes. The kitchen can also feature a small Zen garden, adding a touch of tranquility to the space.
