２００２年４月２０日（土）どうだんつつじで有名な満天星亭（どうだんてい）を訪問しました。
年1回（2002年は4月15日～21日の1週間）公開されます。小生が訪れた時はどうだんつつじ
の白い小さい花が咲き誇るというには程遠く、仕方なく、亭に飾ってある写真で咲き誇る
どうだんつつじをイメージしました。　離れの和室で抹茶をたてて頂きました。
亭は瀬戸街道の大森霞ヶ丘交差点を北へ約２００ｍ行った所にあり尾張旭市の教育文化施設
として各部屋が低料金で利用できます。（利用については使用日の3ヶ月から3日前まで、
尾張旭市生涯学習課で受付）
We visited an arbor called 'Doudan-Tei' that is famous for 'Doudan-Tsutsuji' (a kind of azalea)
on Apr. 20, 2002. This arbor is opened to public once a year (for a week from Apr. 15 through
Aprl 21 in the year of 2002). The blossoms are far from being in full bloom when we visited.
So, I imaged the blossoms in full bloom by seeing the photos displayed in the room.
While, we were served powdered green tea at a detached Japanese-style room.
The arbor is located in about 200 m north of a crossing of Oomorikasumigaoka on Seto main
road. Each room of this arbor can be used at a low prices as cultural facilities for education
of Owariasahi city. (The application for use is received at lifelong study section of the city
office from 3 montsh before the use to 3 days before.)
施設の沿革等（尾張旭市教育委員会発行のパンフレットより）：
どうだん亭の母屋は享保8年（1723年）に岐阜県吉城郡（よしきぐん）坂下村（現在の宮川村）
の荒木家の居宅として建てられたもの。　昭和17年に現在の場所のやや西に、3階建てだった
ものを2階建てに短縮し移築された。昭和42年に母屋が現在の位置に移築され、離れも新築
された。なお、庭園も謡曲”紅葉狩”をモチーフにしてこのころ造られ、”幸福（松竹梅）”の中で
”鶴（飛び石と枯れ池）”と”亀（築山）”が群れ遊ぶ様子が表現されている。　
History of Doudan-Tei (based on a pamphlet issued by a board of education of Owariasahi
City):
The main building of Doudan-Tei was built as residence of Araki family at Yoshiki-Gun,
Gifu Prefecture in 1723. The building was three storied in an area of a little west from the
present place in 1943. It was dismantled and reconstructed as 2 stories building in the
present place. The main building was moved here in 1967, and detached room was newly
built. While, the garden was arranged using Noh song, "excursion for viewing scarlet maple
leaves"as a motif. This garden shows that crane (represented by stepping stones and dried
pond) and tortoise (represented by artificial mountain) are forming grups and playing in the
happiness (represented by pine, bamboo and ume tree).
