The building was constructed in 1641, the same year as the Ohojo (Large Guest House), and has rooms decorated with sliding screen paintings done by artists of the Kano School but, compared to the Ohojo, these are lighter and more tranquil.
大方丈と同じ寛永18年（1641年）に建立された建物で、襖には狩野派の絵が描かれているが、大方丈に比べ淡彩で落ち着いた雰囲気に包まれる。
