織部
- Famous anime and manga へうげもの, where he plays an important role
- Famous poem from XIX century, separating the tastes of the tea masters from each other:
織部 is disputatious
遠州 has refined beauty and a cutting blade
そうわ is princess-like
and そおたん is squalid
- He was a warrior when young, became a student later of Rikyuu's. Possibly to connect to important men.
- Becomes a daimyo
- Also best buddies with rikuyy, they exchange letters and objects (r sends him a few of his famous self-made flower vases)
- After rikyuus death, he becomes the principal tea guy, and Hideyoshi asks him to make CNY more suitable to the warriors.
- Interested in karatsu yaki ware in 1592.
- 1599 first mention of a Oribe style bowl. ('irregularly-shaped Seto tea bowl)
- Also ordered to suicide at 1615, again a puzzle as big as Rikyuus mystery. His utensils are confiscated and Enshuu receives his home
- Possibly also polical
- Yamanoue Sooji sais: A tea master between 40-50 should bring his own style into CNY and breathe new fresh life into CNY. (waga ryuu) - so this can't have been the reason for which Oribe was ordered suicide.
- In the Oribe densho he writes rules for tea which directly go against some of rikyuu rules, which he had written up a few years earlier in 1590. (oribe hakkyhako?)
- Legend has it he deliberately destroyed objects to fit his taste
- Oribe didn't really have a school, since he didn't have kids
- Enshuu school however used Oribe as a link to Rikyuu
- Oribe innovates the garden and tea house design
History
- Hekizan nichiroku from 1462 describes a tea room with a small door, decorated with Chinese objects and a Chinese painting.
Ceramics
- Within 織部 there are different styles, including two kinds of black 織部, a red one and the classical green one.
- This link has a great gallery
- 藁屋（わらや）bowl, for example
