| Comment |
The famous Zen priest Takuan
spent more than three years in this thatched hut, gifted to him
by Toki Yoriyuki, lord of Kamiyama Castle. There, the priest taught
poetry, tea ceremony and kendo. By doing this, Takuan helped strengthen
the national standing of local politicians. The thatched hut was
later moved to the Tokai-ji Temple in Tokyo's Shinagawa district,
and a copy of the original constructed in 1953. Yamagata Prefecture
has designated this copy of the original building a cultural asset. |
