This is a portrait of Sen no Rikyu (1522-91), the famous tea master. Rikyu lived during the Muromachi and Momoyama periods and cast the most profound influence on the art of ceremonial tea-making, culminating it into sado, or the Way of Tea. He first studied under Kitamuki Dochin (1504-62) and later under Takeno Jo-ou (1502-55). His first name was Yoshiro, but it was later changed to Soeki. Rikyu is a pen name. Rikyu served Oda Nobunaga (1534-82), one of the most powerful warlords at the time, as tea master, but after his master’s death, went on to serve his de facto successor, General Toyotomi Hideyoshi (1536-98). Winning deep trust and confidence from this powerful lord, Rikyu advanced in rank and even amassed political influence. Due to reasons not exactly known, he fell out of favor with Hideyoshi and was ordered to commit the ritual suicide of seppuku (belly slashing) in 1591. Rikyu was 71.
