ganwaridoko　龕破床

KEY WORD :　architecture / tea houses

Also called ganaidoko, gangoudoko 龕合床. An alcove with the floor board the same height as the matted room, a frontal wall with a central opening, and a plastered interior. Approximately 180cm across the front, the opening is around 90cm wide. This alcove suited the taste of Kakukasai Sousa 覚々斎宗左 (Gensou Sousa 原叟宗左: 1678-1730). The *CHADOU SENTEI 茶道筌蹄 (1816; published in 1847) describes it as an entirely plastered alcove.
