ganro-no-seki　丸炉席

KEY WORD :　architecture / tea houses

Also called chadou 茶堂. A tea ceremony room *chashitsu 茶室 which contained a cylindrical iron stove *ganro 丸炉. There were no strict regulations governing the placement of the iron stove, tea master, guest or implements because the imperial family, feudal lords and men of letters preferred the drinking of tea in an informal and relaxed manner. These stoves were set into a wooden floor area. Traditionally these rooms excluded everything associated with the rustic tea ceremony style rooms favored by such famous tea masters as Sen Rikyuu千利休 (1522-1591), Sen Douan 千道安 (1546-1606), Sen Soutan 千宗旦 (1578-1658), Furuta Oribe 古田織部 (1544-1615) and Matsudaira Fumai 松平不昧 (1751-1818). Examples: Shiguretei ganro-no-seki 時雨亭丸炉席, Kyoto. Kenninji Daichuuin 建仁寺大中院, Kyoto; Nejikago-no-seki 捻駕篭席, Aichi prefecture.
