Yōsui-tei

ようすいてい
A room of "thirteen windows" associated with Maeda Toshitsune, notable for its luminous many-windowed design; open (please confirm).

An early-Edo tea room attributed to Kobori Enshū and linked to Maeda Toshitsune. Its three-mat space holds thirteen windows, making it unusually bright — hence the name “Thirteen-Window Room.” After relocation it is now cared for by the Furuta Oribe Museum in Kyoto and shown inside by reservation.
