KEY WORD : architecture / tea houses | ||||||
Also kinin agariguchi 貴人上り口. Lit. nobleman's

they can enter a tea ceremony room without bending. If the tea ceremony room is
large *hiroma 広間 a kininguchi
is provided, but it is not always used for rustic style tea ceremony rooms. The
entrance is 1.5m-1.9m wide and 1.4m-1.7m high, with two paper-covered sliding
doors *shouji 障子, that have
wooden panels on the lower part. Example: Ninnaji Hitoutei 仁和寺飛濤亭, Kyoto; Kenrokuen
