The founder of the Enshu school, Lord Kobori Enshu (1579-1647), was a feudal lord, tea master, architect, and garden designer of the early 17th century. Enshu learned sado in his youth under Furuta Oribe, who was considered the greatest tea master after Rikyu. Enshu served as an instructor of sado for the Tokugawa Shogunate, for feudal lords, and for court nobles. He originated a new style of tea ceremony called “kirei sabi.” This style is a mixture of the gracefulness of the 17th century feudal period combined with the spirit of aesthetic simplicity (called wabi-sabi) previously established by Rikyu.
