History
Myoki-an holds a tea room bearing the footprints of Rikyu, founder of wabi tea, making it a sacred place. The spirit of 'ichi-go ichi-e' (once in a lifetime) treasuring each single meeting eternally dwells here. In Otokuni, through tea practice, body and spirit are cultivated as visitors examine themselves in silence and harmony. This temple quietly overflows with wondrous joy.
