Hassō-an (八窓庵) is a historic chashitsu located today in Sapporo, Hokkaido, northern Japan. The name means “eight-window tea house”.[1]
The structure dates to the Edo period. It was originally located at (小室城) in Ōmi Province, present Nagahama, Shiga. It was designed by the tea master Kobori Enshū (1579-1647). It was relocated to Sapporo in 1919. In 1989 a surrounding garden was created by Kobori Sokei, a tea master and a 12th generation descendant of Kobori Enshū.[1]
It is on the list of Cultural Properties of Japan - structures (Hokkaidō).[2]
