sumichigai　隅違い

KEY WORD :　architecture / tea houses

1　A term referring to the arrangement of the utensils employed during a tea ceremony. Specifically, sumichigai means utensils that are set out on the diagonal as opposed to an arrangement based on imaginary lines intersecting at 90゜angles. It is thought that Kobori Enshuu 小堀遠州 (1579-1647) was particularly fond of this arrangement. 2　Buildings or streets which are placed on a diagonal axis in contrast to a grid pattern.
