Kudoku-an was designed by Mirei Shigemori when he was 64 years old. It was first built as a private teahouse in Okayama in 1963 then moved to Omura-ji Temple in June 2004. The tea house is constructed of Japanese cedar which Mirei chose, and its beauty is appreciated as his best work. If you stroll around inside Omura-ji Temple, you will see the garden he designed and a black pine tree that is more than 350 years old.
