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 大名 later on, and best buddies with
利休, they exchange letters and objects,
利休 sends him a few of his famous self-made flower vases
After
利休's death, he becomes the principal tea guy, and 秀吉 asks him to make CNY more suitable to the warriors.
1599 first mention of a
織部-style bowl, referred to as a
irregularly-shaped Seto tea bowl.
Also ordered to suicide at 1615, again a puzzle as big as
利休's. Possibly also political. His utensils are confiscated and
遠州 receives his home.
Had his very own style, actively differing from
利休. He wrote about some of
利休's rules in 1590, but 20 years later, he wrote another collection of rules that go explicitly against the older ones.
Legend has it he deliberately destroyed objects to fit his taste
織部 didn't really have a school, since he didn't have kids (?)
遠州 school however used
織部 as a link to
利休
Innovation
織部 innovates the garden and tea house design (next to ceramics, of course)
好み
-
Was only applied to tea ware only in XVIII! We don't know if
織部-ware was actually made by
織部!
Ceramics
Within
織部 there are different styles, including two kinds of black
織部, a red one and the classical green one.

藁屋(わらや)bowl, for example
