It was reassembled here in 1975 and dedicated to the Tomitas at an inaugural tea ceremony. Shofuan is a traditional san jo daime (3and 3/4 size) hut - Japanese huts are described by the number of mats they accommodate. There are two single fusuma (sliding doors), connecting the tea room with the mizuya (kitchen area), where all the preparations are made for the tea meal (kaiseki) and the tea ceremony.
