Takasugi-an
The tea house is built atop two chestnut trees, cut from a nearby mountain and transported to the site, and is accessible only by free-standing ladders propped against one of the trees. Following the tradition of tea masters, who maintained total control over the construction of their tea houses, Fujimori designed and built the structure for his own use. The interior is covered with plaster and bamboo mats. The name Takasugi-an means, “a tea house [built] too high.”
