Taikian
A cottage about ten minutes by car from Masuda Station. It's at the site of Tokoji Temple, where Sesshu, a Muromachi period ink painter, spent his later years. His grave is at the site, too. It is said that the location was chosen because the Masuda region was relatively peaceful and because the view looking out across the Yoshida Plain to the Sea of Japan resembled parts of China. A spring on the grounds is said to be the same one he used for his inkstone and making tea. This refined and dignified man is still beloved by many to this day.
