Shunsō-ro (Sankeien)
しゅんそうろ
An Important Cultural Property relocated to Sankeien, a small room with nine windows linked to Oda Uraku; open in Yokohama.
An early-Edo tea room attributed to Oda Urakusai, younger brother of Oda Nobunaga, and designated an Important Cultural Property. Once called Kyūsō-tei, "nine-window pavilion," for its nine windows, it is a small room of three mats plus a daime mat.
In 1922 it was moved, together with Gekka-den, from Kinzō-in at Mimurotoji Temple in Uji, Kyoto. Hara Sankei added the attached mizuya preparation room and an eight-mat hall at that time. It first stood behind Rinshunkaku, joined to Hakuuntei, but was taken apart during World War II to protect it from air raids and rebuilt on its present site after the war.
The interior is usually closed, but the exterior can be seen while walking the garden. It is also a paid rental facility, and its mizuya can be used to hold tea gatherings.
