Tai-an

The Tai-an at the Myōki-an, Kyoto

The Tai-an (待庵) is a chashitsu (Japanese tea house) located at Myōki-an temple in Yamazaki, a suburb of Kyoto.

It is famous for its connection with the teamaster Sen no Rikyū, and is said to be designed by him. Its layout consists of only two tatami mats.[1] Its appearance is very rustic and simple, with building material such as mud walls, bamboo-latticed windows, and thatched roof. It was designated by the government as a National Treasure.
