Kubo Gondayu (1571-1640) was a tea connoisseur of the early Edo Period born into the family of priests serving at the Kasuga Shrine in Nara. His real name was Kubo Toshinari, but he was often called by his official title of “Gondayu,” a person in charge of shrine affairs. After attending the Grand Tea Party of Kitano, held in October 1587, he was instantly attracted to chanoyu (also called sado, “way of tea,” tea ceremony, ceremonial tea, etc.) and decided to learn the art under Nanjubo Sowa, a disciple of the great tea master Sen no Rikyu. Gondayu cultivated friendships with great tea masters of the time, such as Kobori Enshu, Shokado Shojo, and Sakawada Masatoshi, just to name a few. His bookof tea, Choando-ki (Annuals of Choando),sheds light on formal tea ceremony as practiced in his time. It is also a valuable record of tea parties and utensils.
