Showa Boston's Japanese Tea House was built in 1988. It is one of the finest and most authentic tea houses in all of New England. It was designed by an architect in Japan and built by several Japanese carpenters.
Most of the material used for constructing the tea house was brought from Kyoto and other parts of Japan. All the intricate joints, woodworking detail, posts, and ceiling lattice were prepared and assembled with magnificent accuracy, authenticity, and craftsmanship.
Chancellor Kusuo Hitomi thoughtfully named Showa's Tea House "Sanzashi-An". This translates to "Mayflower Hut".
