Shino Munenobu - Shino Soushin

Japanese: 志野宗信 - しの・そうしん

Year of death: 1523.9.1 (1523.9.10)
Year of birth: Kakitsu 2 (1442)
A Muromachi period incense master. One theory is that he was born in Bun'an 2 (1445). He was the founder of the Shino school. He was commonly known as Saburozaemon, and his pen name was Shokakuken. He is said to have been active during the heyday of famous incense containers, but his biography is unknown. The Munenobu Meikogoki has a postscript by Sanjonishi Sanetaka from Bunki 2 (1502), and it is presumed that the two men were friends. The Shino Munenobu Ko no Hitsuki contains an article on 88 rules of incense container practice, but there is a need for historical criticism. The Shino school was passed down to Munenobu's son Muneharu. Muneharu, also known as San'usai, had many disciples, but his school of incense was passed down to his brother Muneha and his disciple Takebe Takakatsu, and was further passed down to the Hachiya family, who were disciples of Munenobu's, and it has continued to this day. <References> Isshiki Rigo, The History of Incense Containers

生年：嘉吉2(1442)
室町時代の香道家。生年は一説には文安2(1445)年ともいう。志野流の開祖。通称三郎左衛門。号は松隠軒。名香合の隆盛期に活躍したとされるが伝記は不詳。『宗信名香合記』は文亀2(1502)年の三条西実隆の跋文があり,両者の交友があったものと推定される。『志野宗信香之筆記』には香道の心得88カ条の記事があるが,史料批判の必要がある。志野流は宗信の子宗温に引き継がれた。宗温は参雨斎とも称し,多数の門弟を持ったが,その流派志野流は弟の宗巴と弟子の建部隆勝に受け継がれ,さらにその門弟の蜂谷家に継承されて今日に至っている。<参考文献>一色梨郷『香道のあゆみ』
