Myoki-an

大山崎町大山崎竜光56−56

4.2(73)

A temple located in Oyamazaki City, Kyoto Prefecture, that houses the 'Tai-an', widely regarded as the oldest tea house architecture in Japan. It is considered the prototype of the small tea room with a low entrance (nijiriguchi) and the Suzukake-zukuri architectural style.

History

Founded during the Meio period (1492–1501 CE) of the Muromachi era by Shun'gaku Shihou. During the Edo period, it briefly served as a sub-temple (tato) of Jizoji, but it now belongs to the Toji-ji branch of the Rinzai school of Zen Buddhism. It is also traditionally said to have been the former residence of Yamazaki Sōken, and is known for its National Treasure tea house, 'Tai-an'.
