Crossing the threshold of an Oda, time begins to flow differently. Every item, every carving, every poem
etched on its walls tells the story of past creators. Yet the Oda is not only animated by its history, even
today, new art is born here. Its residents often continue the traditions of craftsmanship, woodwork,
goldsmithing, and song. From the old balconies, sunlight spills onto freshly wrought silver and gold
jewelry, carefully laid out by the master’s hand. Many of these handmade treasures are created by the
hearth, and guests are often invited to try the enchantment of smithing for themselves. In some Odas,
the steady rhythm of woodcarving still echoes, as raw timber is transformed into unique tables, chairs,
ornaments, or even honey spoons, all shaped by the hands of artisans. At dusk, ancient scores,
polyphonic songs come alive once more in folklore evenings. These are not staged performances, but
authentic family traditions, where guests are welcome to join the polyphony with their own voices.
Some Odas have even become residences for artists, such as painters, sculptors, musicians, who create
their newest works within these walls. Visitors are not merely spectators; they become part of the
process, leaving their own trace in the living spaces of Oda-born art. Here, the past craftsmanship
embedded in the wooden walls intertwines with present-day creativity. Past and present merge beneath
one roof, where every guest may feel either like a traveler, a master, or even a character within a work
of art.
