About our tea room
Our tea room is not just an ordinary tatami room. It is a prestigious tea room constructed by a Kyoto craftsman. It is based on a tea room that is said to be designed by Sen No Rikyu, and since then has been inherited by successive headmasters.
The name of this room 不審庵 (Fu-shin-an) is from Buddism Zen words, used to describe the heart that is moved by the wonder and greatness of nature that surpasses human understanding.
Please step by and enjoy the peaceful and quiet atmosphere of our tea room.
