In the seventh volume, we learn about the seventh generation, Saosaisai Chikusou. Born as the second son of the sixth generation of Omotesenke, Kakukakusai Gensou, he was welcomed as the seventh generation of Urasenke, but his life was tragically short, lasting only 25 years. We reflect on his aesthetic sense and tea world through his remaining works and favorite tea utensils. Furthermore, this book comprehensively introduces Saosaisai Chikusou, including a chronology and family tree. [Table of Contents] Chikusou and His Era: The Era of Kyoho...
