In the Edo period, when the then declining Golden Pavilion was being restored, the one who restored the pond garden was Horin Josho. Josho was instructed to make Sekka-tei by the tea ceremonialist Kanamori Sowa, for the benefit of Emperor Go-Mizu-no-O, creator of the Shugaku-in Imperial Villa. The tea room is made in the sukiya-zukuri style that Sowa was fond of, and the name (meaning Evening-Sun Stop), is derived from the fact that the setting sun over the Golden Pavilion is particularly beautiful from this spot. This tea room is also famous for its nandina bamboo alcove posts and bush clover shelves.
