Furuta Oribe (å¤ç”° é‡ç„¶, 1544 - July 6, 1615), whose birth name was Furuta Shigenari (å¤ç”° 織部), was a daimyÅ and celebrated master of the Japanese tea ceremony. He was originally a retainer of Oda Nobunaga and Toyotomi Hideyoshi. His teacher in the tea ceremony was Sen no RikyÅ«. He became the foremost tea master in the land after RikyÅ«'s death, and taught this art to the shÅgun Tokugawa Hidetada. Among his other particularly famous tea ceremony students were Kobori EnshÅ« and Honami KÅetsu.
The kind of tea ceremony that he established is known as Oribe-ryÅ« (see Schools of Japanese tea ceremony), and the style of ceramics that are attributed to his artistic influence are known as Oribe-yaki. He also designed a style of stone lantern for the roji tea garden, known as Oribe-dÅrÅ.[1]
During the year 1600, Oribe received a 10,000-koku income. During the Osaka Campaign of 1615, Oribe was forced to plot in Kyoto against the Tokugawa and the Emperor, on the behalf of the defenders of Osaka. After this event, Oribe was ordered to commit suicide (seppuku), along with his son.
