Rakushisha, Traditional tea house in Sagano, Japan.
The clay-walled building with thatched roof sits among persimmon trees, displaying traditional Japanese architecture without the use of metal nails.
During the 17th century, Mukai Kyorai, a disciple of poet Matsuo Basho, lived in this dwelling and composed numerous haiku poems within its walls.
Stone tablets placed around the garden feature engraved haiku poems, connecting literature with the natural elements of the garden throughout the seasons.
Visitors can access Rakushisha daily between 9:00 AM and 5:00 PM, with reduced hours from 10:00 AM to 4:00 PM during January and February.
The name translates to 'house of fallen persimmons' due to an incident where all fruits from the surrounding trees dropped before harvest.
