Zangetsu-tei
ざんげつてい
Omotesenke's large room, said to copy the "coloured nine-bay shoin" of Rikyū's Juraku residence; named for Hideyoshi admiring the lingering moon through its skylight. Private.
A shoin-style room at Omotesenke. It began when Shōan built a reduced version of the "coloured nine-bay shoin" from Rikyū's Juraku residence.
A ten-mat room with a low-ceilinged, two-mat raised platform, a built-in writing alcove and an exposed sloping ceiling in front of it — an unusual arrangement inherited from the nine-bay shoin. The raised platform serves as the alcove and is called the Zangetsu-doko.
The name, "Lingering Moon," comes from the story that Hideyoshi, on a visit, leaned against the corner post of the raised platform and gazed at the fading moon through the skylight; that post is still called the Taikō-bashira.
A private room of the head family; not open to the public.
