The Mushakouji Senke Tokyo Branch has been the eastern Japan location for the school’s activities since Yukosai’s generation. It is located at 3 Chome Sendagi, Bunkyo-ku, Tokyo (often called Dokanyama), on land related to Ota Dokan, who is credited with building the Edo Castle. Long ago the Tokyo Branch hosted activities at Jirakuan, located at the former Kume house. In present-day you can find Sozen Hisada’s favorite, “Hanshoan” and Yukosai’s favorite hiroma, “Unryuken” here; in the year 2000, the New Tea Room was also built.

新茶室棟

In the year 2000, all training rooms were entirely reconstructed by Futetsusai. A new three story tea house with a semi-basement has been completed as a practice area for the tea ceremony. This building is not only for tea ceremony training, but also open to tea gatherings and learning courses. The first floor is a spacious room for ryurei style ceremony; the second floor has Sodo, measuring 6 tatami, that worships all that is Rikyu and has a hiroma measuring 12 tatami with a shimozadoko / gezadoko.

半床庵
Hanshoan is a small room measuring 1 tatami and 2 daime (smaller tatami) with a mukou-ita (a board placed between the host’s tatami and the daime tatami). Built in the middle of the Edo era by Sozen Hisada’s second son, Soya (Fukyusai), it became a favorite tea room of Sozen’s and was later moved to its present location. In the daime mukougiri higatte / gyakugatte style, the host of the ceremony sits across from the attendees, another name for this seat is “Ama no Gawa Seki”. Kininza (high ranking guest seat) is set to the left of the host on the side of the shimozadoko / gezadoko and the sliding koshi-shoji doors that they enter through; other participants are to the right hand side of the host, where the nijiriguchi (a small crawl in entrance) is located. Behind a large curved pillar made of red pine, two story shelves are built with a takesunoko set below, which is used as a kensui (place for water disposal).
In 1964, Hanshoan was designated an Important Cultural Property of Tokyo.
