Hassō-ken
はっそうけん
An Important Cultural Property at Manshu-in: a three-mat daime room with eight windows, counted among Kyoto's three famous tea rooms.
An Edo-period tea room at Manshu-in Monzeki, designated an Important Cultural Property. It is a three-mat daime room under a shingled lean-to roof, and its eight windows are said to represent the eight stages of the Buddha's life.
A paper-square (shikishi) window lights the host's seat, and a lath window sits beneath the front lattice window. The alcove has a black-lacquered frame and a high ceiling, and the flat ceiling in front of it continues over the host's seat—features seen in tea rooms by Furuta Oribe and Kobori Enshū.
The temple also has a one-mat daime tea room, Musō-no-seki, likewise an Important Cultural Property.
