Myōki-an, Buddhist temple in Ōyamazaki, Japan
The Myōki-an temple includes the Tai-an tea room, which measures two and a half tatami mats and incorporates black mud-plastered walls and reed lattice windows.
Founded between 1492 and 1501, the temple was established by Shoitsukokushi Hassu Shungaku Shiho, who also created the Tofuku-ji Temple during the Muromachi period.
The Tai-an tea room represents the evolution of Japanese tea ceremony architecture, featuring a low entrance that requires guests to bend down when entering.
Visitors need to make reservations approximately one month in advance to view the Tai-an tea room, with access available from both JR Yamazaki and Hankyu stations.
The temple contains the only remaining tea ceremony room created by Sen no Rikyu, recognized as a National Treasure and considered the prototype for small tea houses.
