At Hamarikyu, there were five Ochiyaya on the shores of a pond with tide. Many of them were built during the era of the 11th Shogun Ienari, all of which were destroyed by the earthquake and war, but Nakajima's Chaya was rebuilt in 1983. Ochiya is not only a place that not only composes the scenery of the garden, but also serves meals, breaks, and guests when visiting the garden. Unlike the tea room, which exclusively deals with tea ceremonies, there are few examples that exist.
By the way, the restoration of "Matsuno Chaya" as part of the restoration and restoration project that began in 2004. An excavation survey was conducted in 2008 to investigate the situation in foundation stone and other areas, and construction is underway based on existing materials. On April 24, a tour of the restoration work site, which was not normally visible, was held immediately after the upper wing.
About one hour was explained by people involved in the construction, such as the restoration policy, construction ingenuity and construction method, and the current situation. I was interested in listening to the stories about the use of the same materials as those at the time of construction, such as yakusugi cedar on the ceiling plate and Japanese Spanish mackerel on the roof, the connection technique called fittings and fittings, and the preservation of dynamics of foundation stone remain on the modern construction method.
