THE SECOND OF THE RINSHUN-KAKU

This building consists of three rooms, the Suminoe, Naniwa nd Kinki-shoga.  Here the lord of Kishu recived visitors.

The Suminoe room,  believed to have been decorated by Sanraku Kano, has scenes of Naniwa on the screens and sliding doors;  the doors of the side-board are set with mother-of-pearl and are of Korean origin.  In the transom are set ten cards bearing poetic descriptions of Naniwa's scenic beauty;  these descriptions are in the form of 31-syllable odes, written by members of the Imperial family.

The Naniwa room has screens painted by Eitoku Kano showing wild geese. The transom in this room is also set with poetic descriptions of Naniwa written by members of the Imperial Court.

The Kinki-shoga room is decorated with painted screens done in the Chinese manner by Tanyu Kano.
