His courtesy name was Genpaku. His dharma name was Genshuku. His alternate names included Totsusai and Totsusai. He was also known by the nickname Kojiki Sōtan (Beggar Sōtan). His father was Sen Shōan, the stepson of Sen Sōon, Sen no Rikyū's second wife, and his mother was Kame, Rikyū's daughter. He succeeded Shōan in the Kyō-Senke line. He was the third generation head of the Sen family and the founder of the Sōtan-ryū (Sansenke). Recent research has refuted the theory that his father was Sen Dōan, Rikyū's biological son. There is also a theory that he learned Rikyū's original tea ceremony movements from Furuichi Sōan. Table of Contents 1.
