1.Shōkadō Shōjō ・ | ||||||
Shōkadō Shōjō (松花堂昭乗, 1584 Yamato Province, Japan-1639) was an Edo period Buddhist monk, painter, calligrapher and master of the tea ceremony. He is one of the "Three brushes of the Kan'ei period" (寛永三筆, Kan'ei Sanpitsu).[1] Shōjō is the Buddhist name the youth was given when he entered the Hachiman shrine on Otoko-yama (Yawata) near Kyoto. He later served the Konoe family under Konoe Nobutada. At that time he also became acquainted with the Zen-monks of Daitoku-ji. In 1627 he became the head of the small Takimoto-bō temple on the slope of Otoko-yama (Mt. Otoko) which is south of Kyōto. Ten years later, in 1637, he retired to a hut on the temple's estate which he called "Pine Flower Hall" (松花堂, Shōkadō). This became the name under which he, and his school of followers, is best known.[1] | ||||||

2.Grand Kitano Tea Ceremony ・ | ||||||
The Grand Kitano Tea Ceremony (Japanese: 北野大茶湯; Kitano ōchanoyu), also known in English as the Grand Kitano Tea Gathering, was a large Japanese tea ceremony event that was hosted by the regent and chancellor Toyotomi Hideyoshi at Kitano Tenmangū shrine in Kyoto on the first day of the tenth month in the year Tenshō 15 (1587). Japanese cultural historians view it as a major cultural event of the Momoyama period. Louise Cort points out these three reasons: The event was "a key move in Hideyoshi's strategy to prove his cultural legitimacy; a turning point in the development of chanoyu style and theory; and a crisis in the personal relationship between its chief designers, two of the most influential figures of the Momoyama period, Hideyoshi and Sen no Rikyū".[1] | ||||||
