Urakusai (1547-1622) is said to be the younger brother of Sengoku warlord Oda Nobunaga, and was born in Owari Province, present-day Aichi Prefecture. After Nobunaga passed away due to the Honnoji Incident (1582), he was one of the military commanders who was active under the Toyotomi and Tokugawa families. He became familiar with the tea ceremony from an early age and is famous as a disciple of Sen no Rikyu, and his cultural achievements as a tea master after retiring to Kyoto in his later years are well known. 2021 marks the 400th anniversary of his death, and this exhibition will trace the footsteps of the life of the great tea master Oda Urakusai and redefine his portrait.
*There will be an exhibition change during the course of exhibition.
