chadoushiki chashitsu　茶堂式茶室

KEY WORD :　architecture / tea houses

Also called doushiki chashitsu 堂式茶室. A tea ceremony house which was designed freely according to a tea master's taste. Shoukadou 松花堂, built by Shoukadou Shoujou 松花堂昭乗 (1584-1639) at Izumibou 泉坊 in Kyoto, and Shichishakudou 七尺堂 (also called Chouandou 長闇堂), built by Kubo Gondayuu 久保権大輔 (1571-1640) at Nodagou 野田郷 in Nara, are typical examples. Neither belongs to the hut style *souan 草庵, or *shoin 書院 style.　Both of these teahouses are built in the hipped style and are roofed with thatch. A Buddhist altar is provided inside, and resembles the interior of a Buddhist hall. Some scholars also consider the circular hearth and doored cupboard, found in the 2 mat room in the small shoin at Manjuin 曼殊院, as well as at Shoukokuji Jishouin 相国寺慈照院 and Myoushinji Kaifukuin 妙心寺海福院, to be characteristic features of the chadoushiki chashitsu.
