A tea master in the Azuchi-Momoyama and early Edo periods. He was the eldest son of Sen no Rikyu. He was born in Sakai. His mother may have been from the Awa Miyoshi clan. His first name was Shoan. He was known as Nem'o and Kakusai. Although he was blessed with talent, he did not inherit the family business and spent his life as a connoisseur. After Rikyu's death, he is said to have been exiled to Hida Takayama (Kanamori clan), Buzen Kokura (Hosokawa clan), and Awa Tokushima (Hachisuka clan), and it is thought that he lived in a more difficult situation than his brother-in-law Shoan. He returned to Kyoto during the Bunroku period (1592-96) and resumed his position as tea master under Toyotomi Hideyoshi. He lived in Sakai and worked as a tea master. He was the first teacher of Furuta Oribe, and one of his disciples, Kuwayama Sakon, was a pupil of Katagiri Sekishu. It is said that in 1601, Hosokawa Tadaoki granted him a fief in Buzen. He is known for his ingenious design of small rooms known as Doan-guri, and there are many tools that convey his taste, such as the Doan brazier. <References> "Sakai City History"
