This is an old revision of the document!
Architecture
-
1.81m high, 床 1.21 wide (which is wider than the
畳 in front of it)
躙口(にじりぐち)is slightly larger than in later rooms, possibly to accommodate for 秀吉(ひでよし) ’s armour; with 79 cm high and 72 cm wide. Still, being so small, the small room seems larger!
Rounded corners in the 床 (even the ceiling!), gives it a lot of depth
Woods and walls are darkened
Ceiling is slated, so the highest point is above where the guest sits.
History
Only tea room attributed to
利休, built possibly in 1582 in 山崎(やま ざき); which was then moved after his death.
