INTRODUCTION:
This book contains 100 teahouses built in Japan from the Momoyama Period to the present day, with plans, elevations, and interior plans of each. The 100 tea houses selected are of clear date of construction and architectural style, and are excellent in design and structure, and include most of the tea houses designated as national treasures or important cultural properties.
The drawings are based on actual measurements and may include ceiling and detailed drawings as well as floor plans, etc., depending on the tea house.
The scale is 1/100 for drawings that include the garden, and 1/20 for other drawings, and the numbers shown are based on the Japanese "shaku" system, so that the approximate dimensions can be grasped even in the metric system.
The table of contents, names of teahouses and drawings are written in Japanese and English. At the end of the book, the location of each teahouse, the background of its construction, and its style are introduced (in Japanese).
