| A scroll of the period shows Okuni as a young, fashionably dressed samurai, indolently leaning on a sword, dallying with a teahouse girl. |
| The design of the teahouse is authentic, including the imported blue tile roof. |
| Initially, it didn't lead anywhere, but in the '50s trails were developed on the west side and the teahouse became a gift shop. |
| They moved to the port, supported themselves and her by keeping that exclusive teahouse for people who will never recognize her. |
| Today, the restored teahouse once again plays host to tea-party fund-raisers, cookouts with friends, and children's parties. |
| But thanks to an unknown teahouse owner's creative imagination, it was rolled between a bannock and eaten like a crispy sandwich. |
