Japanese tea utensils in the context of Mushakōjisenke

Mushakōjisenke (武者小路千家), sometimes referred to as Mushanokōjisenke, is one of the three schools of Japanese tea ceremony. Along with Urasenke and Omotesenke, the Mushakōjisenke is one of the three lines of the Sen family descending from Sen no Rikyū, which together are known as the san-Senke or "three Sen houses/families" (三千家). The head or iemoto of this line carries the hereditary name Sōshu (宗守).
