<font color="#FF6600">Q. How did you find Bartok art? </font></p> 
<br>
<p>I was surfing the web when I came across the Bartok webpages. The timing was perfect as our summer home was under construction and I was looking for decorative pieces. </p><br><br>


<p><font color="#FF6600">Q. You have quite a few pieces in your home, which one is your favorite? </font></p><br>

<p> Between the name plate and the decorative pieces we have in the bathroom, terrace, kitchen and bedroom it's so hard to choose. <br>
But if I had to choose one it would be the beer tile displayed in the terrace. <br>
It was fascinating to me how the delicate colors in the tile looked so different before and after installation. The tile blends so beautifully into the terrace space and gives it a great atmosphere. </p> <br> <br>

<p>＜Afterward＞<br><br>

It seems the installation of the tiles were carried out during construction of the house by a contractor. <br>
A large tile piece was also installed in the entranceway giving it a refreshed look. <br>
Along the outer frame of the large scale panels a border was created as if to frame the mural creating an overall impression of a displayed art piece.  <br><br>

Thus completes our viewing of the Komatsuzaki home.<br>
With so many pieces its as though we just viewed a Bartok museum! We are truly honored to be of service. <br>
We thank you for your hospitality in letting us tour your home!</p><br><br>
