"A TEA HOUSE BUILT TOO HIGH"



This japanese 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,
architech- 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.”
