   Hey KK, that was a very good tip, providing me with the actual name for that roof style. Found all kinds of good info googling !

   Phil, what is that link you provided ? Is that some sort of Search Engine ? There were lots of great links in there, but all pointing towards pagodas, not tea houses.

   Can you tell me how you came up with that page ?

   I use a meta-search technique looking for Japanese architecture and blueprints for roofs; they were keywords in that search engine (so my search found it), so I cranked up the engine and violá. I looked at a couple and they had the roof style you described, but I'll leave to you to find out if any of the drawing are interesting.

   PS, best I can remember, most of the "real" tea houses just had simple bamboo roofs..

   Ah haa .. looking specifically for plans and blueprints ! That sounds very promising ! But, all those roofs are the wrong Style I'm looking for. The correct roof, but much to ornate of a Style.

   Don't suppose you could explain how to do this type search ? I'd like to do that search using ' Soan Style Tea House Roof ', and also ' Shoin Style . . . ' .. that ought to do it !

   Soan is the style I think I'm after .. very simple, pure .. rustic. Shoin is a bit more refined. I'd also like to try ' Sukiya Style '.

   Thanks for the hep guys ! I'm starting to find some Good Info !

   Then just do a simple search on those types of values, you get sites like (I found about 80 hits)

   http://www.nobleharbor.com/tea/chado/psychaspectofchado.html

   http://www.tnm.go.jp/doc/Guide/Dyn/eret/eret99.en.html

   Then, quickly go through them looking for what you want, but if not there, copy down some key words and do another, more precise, search..
