● Rokukansai VI, a man of great knowledge who shouldered the Urasenke school of tea at a young age ●
This series explores the traditions of the Urasenke tea ceremony, compiling a volume on each successive head of the Urasenke Konnichian school, from Sen no Rikyu to the 14th head, Mugensai (Tantansai).
Volume 6 focuses on Rokukansai, who became head of the school at a young age due to the early death of his father, Joso V.
This volume explores the life of a man well-versed in academics, who used his wide-ranging knowledge to live alongside the tea ceremony. It also recalls his aesthetic sense and the world of tea through his posthumous works and favorite utensils.
This volume also features a chronology and a family tree surrounding Rokukansai, providing a multifaceted introduction to Rokukansai Taiso.
