Jo-an is said to be one of the three finest teahouses in Japan and has been in its current location in Inuyama since 1972. It was designated a National Treasure in 1951.
==History== Jo-an was originally built around 1618 in Kennin-ji, Kyoto, for Oda Urakusai, the younger brother of daimyō Oda Nobunaga and a disciple of tea ceremony master Sen no Rikyū. Jo-an has been relocated a number of times, but since 1972 has formed part of the Urakuen gardens in Inuyama, Aichi Prefecture, part of the historic Owari Province which the Oda clan ruled starting in the 15th century.
