The name of this tea room, Ippaku, consists of the Chinese characters 一(one) and 白 (white), which when put together, make one compound Chinese character 百 (one hundred), to commemorate the centennial anniversary of the birth of Okada Mokichi, the founder of this museum. In addition to the ryûrei seki, which can serve tea to approximately thirty people, there is a large room constructed in shoinzukuri style, a medium-sized seven tatami mat room in the back, as well as another small three tatami mat room, making this a large sukiya style structure. The architect is Emori Nahiko, a forerunner of tea house designs who worked on the tea house at the Japanese Embassy in Washington D.C. At the ryûrei seki, we serve green tea and sweets made from products raised using the MOA Natural Farming. The large room and small rooms are available for renting.
