菅田庵, Tea ceremony garden in Matsue, Japan
The Sugata-an garden contains a thatched roof teahouse with intricate one-mat room designs and specially positioned windows for natural light.
The Matsue domain lord Harusato Matsudaira ordered the construction of Sugata-an in 1792, creating a space that represents classical Japanese tea ceremony principles.
The garden maintains traditional elements of tea ceremony architecture, featuring dedicated spaces for contemplation and ritual tea preparation.
Visitors can access Sugata-an from JR Matsue Station by taking an 8-minute car ride or bus to the entrance, followed by an 8-minute walk.
The teahouse incorporates a distinctive curved central pillar between the preparation area and guest space, reflecting refined architectural techniques.
