Kikugetsu-tei
This tea ceremony belvedere is located inside the nationally designated Special Place of Scenic Beauty, Ritsurin Park, and is the most significant structure in the park. Kikugetsutei, named after a classical Tang period Chinese prose, 'cupping water into my hands, I can hold the moon', means scooped-moon pavilion. The attraction of this teahouse, beloved by many generations of feudal lords, is found it its graceful uncluttered spaces open to light and nature. Built during the early Edo period, the Sukiya-zukuri boasts not only an exceptional architectural design but also a panoramic view of the landscaped garden through its sliding doors. One experiences a sense of being surrounded by masterpieces of landscape paintings.
