Akikusa no ma and Chokushi no ma (Important Cultural Property)

The Akikusa no ma (Room of Autumn Grasses) and the Chokushi no ma (Room of the Imperial Envoy) are the second and third of the three reception rooms near the entrance of the Sanbō-in. In a manner that is typical of this traditional architectural style, the rooms decrease in size as the level of the floor, and with it the status, of each room rises.

The second room Akikusa no ma, 15 tatami mats in size, takes its name from the seven flowering grasses of autumn, which has long been a theme of Japanese painting and poetry.

The Chokushi no ma is furthest from the entrance, smallest in size (10 tatami mats), and highest in status (and floor height). Both rooms have been adorned with painted sliding doors by the artists from the school of Hasegawa Tōhaku. The Chokushi no ma is decorated with depictions of bamboos and flowers, representing spring in contrast to the autumn grass, one of the central traditional motives of Japan. The serene glow of the bamboo forest in the painting was elaborately decorated with silver pigments, which unfortunately have oxidized to black, but still demonstrating a sophisticated design of the interior to welcome the imperial envoys.

秋草の間と勅使の間

秋草の間と勅使の間は、三宝院の入り口近くにある3つの応接室の2番目と3番目です。

この伝統的な建築様式の標準的な様式に従い、部屋の位が上がり、床が高くなるとともに、部屋が小さくなっていきます。勅使の間が、入口から最も遠く、一番小さい部屋（10畳）で最高位（床も最高位）です。

2番目の部屋は、15畳あり、日本絵画と詩の題目として長く使われてきた秋の七草から名付けられました。絵は長谷川等伯派の画家が描いたもので、勅使の間の襖に対象的に描かれる春を代表する竹や花を描いた絵も同じ画家の作品です。

“秋草之间”与“敕使之间”（重要文化财）

距三宝院玄关最近的三个接待室中，“秋草之间”和“敕使之间”分别为第二、第三间居室。两间居室的建筑样式为标准的传统风格，地位高的房间地板亦越高，面积却越小。

“秋草之间”是第二间居室，面积为15叠（1叠约为1.6平方米），得名于古时日本画及诗歌的常见主题——“秋日七草”。

距玄关最远的敕使之间面积最小（10叠），其地位和地板高度亦属最高。房间的拉门画皆出自于长谷川等伯一派画家的手笔。“敕使之间”的拉门画“竹林花鸟图”，以春日风光为主题，乃日本画的传统题材。当时为表现竹林肃穆氛围而使用的银色颜料虽已氧化发黑，却仍能感受其设计之洗练，不愧是用来恭迎敕使的绝佳之选。
