Samurai Teahouse Set

Samurai Teahouse Set

A small chashitsu teahouse from old Japan. Tea houses are usually small, simple wooden buildings. They are located in the gardens or grounds of private homes, or temples and parks. The building is usually surrounded by a small garden, with a path leading to the tea room. Along the path is a waiting bench for guests and a stone water-basin near the tea house, where the guests rinse their hands and mouths before entering through a small door, which symbolically separates the small, simple, quiet inside from the crowded, overwhelming outside world.

Traditional elements of the interior include the tokonoma alcove with hanging scroll, a lowered entrance required participants to bow to enter, tatami flooring, and sliding paper doors and windows.

This terrain model includes a set of fences and a gate, and a small decorative garden with accessories. The fences are based on authentic bamboo and twine fences found at Ginkakuji, in Kyoto.

The teahouse building measures approximately 100mm by 100mm (4" x 4"), with the thatched roof overhanging to 140mm by 140mm (5½" x 5½"). The building is 110mm (4½") tall. The whole set (in the arrangement pictured in the black and white photo) covers an area approximately 315mm x 230mm (12½" x 9").

A really great set with good verstaility for tabletop gaming lots of different sized pieces for a interesting themed board but not for the faint hearted The finish on the fences and thatched teahouse and gate roof are excellent they do take time though with the teahouse roof being an all day job on my Bambu A1 The contact points for the removable supports for the roof sections caused a few failed prints even with a good brim set as they are so small they easily detach from the print bed I added an extra bar to hold them on the print bed and connect them to the rest of the roof piece from the start see photo The length of the supports on the right hand roof section also meant the were wobbly near the point they meet the roof so I had to slow the printer right down to avoid them getting knocked off for a while This could have been improved with an extra crosspiece halfway up each support to hold them steady but I didnapost find the issue until about 35 hours into the print
