Description
KANAMORI Sowa was a student of KOBORI Enshu and created his own tea school called “Himesowa”. Sowa’s son, Shichinosuke, was invited to be a tea master for MAEDA Toshitsune, the third feudal Lord of the Kaga Domain, and the Sowa family subsequently served their feudal lords for 6 generations. The Sowa School developed in Kaga. This work has a graceful feeling of quiet simplicity. A letter from Sowa to Shinosuke is attached.
