Shoi-ken is country-style tea pavillon beside the shoreline that has cut paving stones leading to it in a diagonal line. The steps in front are called so-no-tobiishi (informal stepping stones) and the tsukubai (handwashing basins) bear the signature Ukizuki. At the boat mooring, there are the sanko-toro or three-light lanterns. They are designed to represent sunlight, moonlight and startlight. They have a cover that is shaped like the paper cover for a latern. 12/27/05 2:12 PM Order
