Description
*Suga Gendo 須賀 玄道 (1919~)  :
Suga Gendo was born in Ohita in 1919. His masters were Genpokoji-ha Ashikaga Shisan and Takeda Eisen. Gendo was a chief priest of Zuisen-ji temple in 1947.
*Sen no Rikyu :
Sen no Rikyu (1522-1591) is considered the historical figure with the most profound influence on the Japanese tea ceremony, particularly the tradition of
wabi-cha
. Rikyu is known by many names; for convenience this article will refer to him as Rikyu throughout. Rikyu, under the name Sen Soeki or by his tea name
Hosensai
, is considered the founder of the Sansenke, or three main schools of tea ceremony:
Urasenke, Omotesenke
and
Mushanokojisenke
.
Early life
As a young man, Rikyu studied tea under Kitamuki Dochin, and received the name Soeki from the priest Dairin Soto of Nanshuji temple in Sakai. At the age of nineteen, he began to study tea under Takeno Joo, who is also associated with the development of the
wabi
aesthetic in tea ceremony. Rikyu also underwent Zen training at Daitoku-ji.
Later years
At the age of fifty-eight, Rikyu became tea master for Oda Nobunaga and, following his death, for Toyotomi Hideyoshi. In 1585 at a tea gathering given by Hideyoshi for Emperor Ogimachi and held at the Imperial Palacem, the emperor bestowed upon him the Buddhist lay name Koji.
It was during his later years that Rikyu began to use very tiny, rustic tearooms, such as the two-tatami tearoom named Taian, which can be seen today at Myokian temple in Yamazaki, a suburb of Kyoto. This tea room has been declared a national treasure. He also developed many implements for tea cermony, including flower containers, teascoops, and lid rests made of bamboo, and also used everyday objects for tea ceremony, often in novel ways. In addition, he pioneered the use of Raku teabowls and had a preference for simple, rustic items made in Japan, rather than the expensive Chinese-made items that were fashionable at the time.
Death
Although Rikyu had been one of Hideyoshi's closest confidants, because of crucial differences of opinion and other reasons which remain uncertain, Hideyoshi ordered him to commit ritual suicide, which he did at his Jurakudai residence in Kyoto on February 28, 1591, at the age of seventy.
