Rikyu, Shoan, Genpaku: The Founding Era of the Sen Family With the first public exhibition of the restored Fusuma-e with Pine Trees and Bridge Design by Hasegawa Tohaku

Raku Museum

This event has ended.

This exhibition features Raku tea bowls as well as other tea utensils associated with three founding generations of the Sen family, Sen Rikyu, Sen Shoan and Genpaku Sotan, and their tea tradition. Also on display will be the four-panelled fusuma-e painting, Pine Trees and a Bridge by Hasegawa Tôhaku, which was recently restored. The painting, which is part of a series housed at the Entoku-in sub-temple of the Kôdaiji temple complex and designated an Important Cultural Property, came into the possession of the Raku family because of the contact that 11th generation Raku Keinuyu had with the Daitokuji abbot during the period of so-called Haibutsu Kishaku, Expulsion of the Buddhism, under the Meiji Restoration when many images and texts in the Buddhist temple treasury were scattered around the country and some destroyed and lost.
