Fushinan - Fushinan

A representative tea room of the Omotesenke school. When the Sen family was re-established in front of Honpoji Temple in Kyoto, the second head tea master Shoan built a deep three-tatami daime tea room and a three-tatami doan-gakoi tea room. The third head tea master Sotan then built a one-and-a-half-tatami room without a bed, which he called Fushin'an. Fushin'an was also Rikyu's pseudonym, and it is said that the four-and-a-half-tatami room he built in front of the gates of Daitokuji had a plaque reading "Fushinan." In 1647 (Shoho 4), the fourth head tea master Koshin folded up the one-and-a-half-tatami room he had inherited and built a new three-tatami flat daime tea room. This is the Fushin'an that survives in the Omotesenke school, and the current one was rebuilt in 1913 (Taisho 2). The light exterior, with its gabled roof and eaves, is a typical example of a thatched hut teahouse, and the interior shows Rikyu's neat daime-gura technique, with the central pillar at the center. The toko (alcove) is located in front of the nijiriguchi (nijiriguchi), and the serving entrance is located next to the toko. The tea ceremony entrance is located in a sliding door at the end of the brazier (furo) of the tea ceremony seat, and wooden tatami mats are added to the kitchen, creating a unique structure.

表千家の代表的な茶室。京都・本法寺前に再興された千家に、2世少庵(しょうあん)は深三畳台目(だいめ)と三畳道安囲(どうあんがこい)の茶室を設けた。ついで3世宗旦(そうたん)は「床(とこ)なしの一畳半」を造立してこれを不審庵と称した。不審庵は利休の別号でもあり、利休が大徳寺門前に造立した四畳半にも不審庵の額が掲げられたという。1647年（正保4）4世江岑(こうしん)は、受け継いだ一畳半を畳んで新たに平三畳台目をおこした。これが表千家に存続する不審庵であり、現在のは1913年（大正2）の再建になる。杮葺(こけらぶき)切妻造の屋根に庇(ひさし)を組み合わせた軽快な外観は、草庵茶室の優れた一典型であり、内部は、中柱を中心に利休流の端正な台目構えの手法が示されている。躙口(にじりぐち)の正面に床(とこ)、床脇(とこわき)に給仕口をあけている。点前(てまえ)座の風炉(ふろ)先のほうに釣襖(ふすま)の茶道口をあけ、勝手付に板畳を添えているのが異色な構えである。
