A teahouse in the Urasenke school of Kyoto. It is said that Matakakushi is a four-and-a-half-tatami room that was built in 1653 (Shoo 2) when Sotan handed over his retirement residence to Koshin and lived there again in retirement. It was rebuilt in 1789 (Kansei 1) after the Tenmei fire. The thatched, gabled roof structure has low eaves, giving it a rustic appearance, and inside there is a toko (alcove) in front of the nijiriguchi (nijiriguchi) and a doko (cabinet) in the temaeza (temaeza). The ceiling is a decorative attic on the half-way street on the nijiriguchi side, and ajiro (latticed wire grating) ceiling on the rest of the room. There are only two windows, one underlay window on each the guest seating side and the nijiriguchi side, and a push-up window, so lighting and openness are extremely restricted. The host's seat is limited to the tea ceremony entrance. While following the style of the four-and-a-half-tatami-mat room perfected by Rikyu, the room emphasizes a more dignified atmosphere by introducing the use of a sawtooth pillar in the inner corner of the tea ceremony seat. This style was widely popular in the Edo period as a typical example of the four-and-a-half-tatami-mat room of the Rikyu style.

京都の裏千家にある茶室。1653年(承応2)、宗旦(そうたん)が隠居屋敷を江岑(こうしん)に譲って再隠居する際に造立した四畳半が又隠であるといわれる。天明(てんめい)大火後、1789年(寛政1)に再建された。茅葺入母屋(かやぶきいりもや)造で軒が低く、ひなびた外観を形成し、内部は、躙口(にじりぐち)の正面に床(とこ)を構え、点前座(てまえざ)に洞庫(どうこ)を備える。天井は躙口側半間通りを化粧屋根裏、ほかは網代(あじろ)天井としている。窓は客座側と躙口側に下地(したじ)窓が一窓ずつと突上げ窓があけられているだけで、採光や開放性は極度に抑制されている。亭主の口は茶道口に限定されている。利休の完成した草庵(そうあん)風四畳半を踏襲しながら、点前座の入隅(いりずみ)に楊子柱(ようじばしら)の手法を導入するなど、いっそう佗(わ)びた趣(おもむき)が強調されている。利休流四畳半の典型として、江戸時代に広く流布された。 [中村昌生] [参照項目] |出典 小学館 日本大百科全書(ニッポニカ)日本大百科全書(ニッポニカ)について 情報 | 凡例 |
