| Although tokonoma were restricted as they were considered too lavish for ordinary people in the Edo Period, some influential people were allowed to build tokonoma when inviting local governors to their homes for example. |
江戸時代には庶民の住まいに床の間は贅沢であるとして統制が加えられていたが、名主相当の有力者の場合（代官を自宅に迎えるような場合）、床の間を許されたものもある。 |
