A tea master from the Muromachi period. Founder of the Yabunai school of tea ceremony. Childhood name Kusuke. Given name Soin. Also known as Shochi, Yabunaisai, Soin, and En'an. A native of Amagasaki, Settsu. Adopted by the well-known tea master Yabu (Yabunai) Soha, he inherited the Yabunai family name. Became a disciple of Takeno Jōō, and was given one character of his name, giving him the name Shochi. Around 1580 (Tenshō 8), he moved from Amagasaki to Shichiku, Kyoto, and studied Zen under Shun'yaku Soen at Daitoku-ji Temple. After Jōō's death, he was taught by Rikyu, and was presented with an Unkyaku plaque and tea utensils. He married the younger sister of Furuta Oribe, a feudal lord and tea master. After Rikyu's death, he served Toyotomi Hideyoshi, but is said to have resigned shortly thereafter. In 1595, he was given the title of Kenchu by Haruya and moved to Kamikyo. Later, he was given the tea room Tsubame-an, which was Oribe's favorite and had a three-tatami-mat dining area with a dining table. His tea utensils include the Tozan Imperial Treasure's bronze elephant ear vase "Hime-uri", the "Nanban woolen woven water jar", Tsubame-an's specialty "hammered kettle", and the "Oribe calendar tea bowl". His calligraphy remains include "table remains" and "table paintings", and his own tea utensils include a bamboo single-layer cut vase and a bamboo tea scoop. The name Shochi has been passed down from generation to generation, and in the Heisei era, it has been passed down to 13 generations. <References> "The Origin of Tea Ceremony" 6 volumes
