The commemorative tour of the Nagoya venue was held in the midst of the north wind blowing due to the low pressure. This time, there were many applications from all over the country regarding the ability to visit the inside of the precious building and the commentary of Mr. Masao Nakamura, the leading person of Sukiya, and 30 winners participated. .

It starts with a tour of Nyoan, which is famous as a national treasure tea room. At the former Shodenin Shoin (Important Cultural Property), where Urakusai Oda spent his later years, Dr. Nakamura of Instructor gave a commentary on the portrait of Yurakusai and the history of the relocation by Satomi Horiguchi. After that, they were divided into groups and toured the interior of Nyoan. I was able to see the innovative design by Yurakusai's creativity up close, and everyone was impressed.

After the tea room, we went around the garden and visited Joan from the outside. In addition, we visited the tea room "Genan" at Osaka Tenmanyashiki, which was restored in the garden. The garden was guided by the staff of Uraku-en Garden. Thank you for the detailed explanation in the cold weather.

Next, after traveling by bus, we will visit Kanyuso, which is said to be the highest peak of Sukiya style in Nagoya. mansion was run by the Takamatsu family, a merchant in Nagoya, from the Meiji era to the Taisho era, but when it was in danger of demolition in the 1980s, President Yamazaki Mazac Co., Ltd. took over and revived as a guest facility for the company.

Mr. Nakamura in great hall gave an overview of the creativity of tea masters and carpenter Sukiya who were involved in the construction. After this, we divided into groups and went around the tea room and the parlor with 10 rooms.

Each room has different designs, and it is no exaggeration to say that it is a Sukiya Museum. Participants voiced "beautiful" and "beautiful" in the brilliant world of Sukiya, which was different from Joan.
Finally, Mr. Nakamura said that he lamented the poverty of the current housing culture and that he would like to pass on the world of this wonderful Sukiya to future generations.
Through the two famous architectures, I think you could fully enjoy the wonderful world of Sukiya full of creativity. Thank you to Dr. Masao Nakamura, who explained many times during the cold and long hours, and everyone at Uraku-en Garden and Yamazaki Mazak for responding.
