The final lecture in the Masterworks of Japanese Tea Tradition lecture series will explore the aesthetics of daimyo tea master Furuta Oribe. Considered a bit of an eccentric in his time, Oribe is known for having taken the wabi teachings of his master Sen no Rikyu to further extremes. This session will highlight famous tea wares that are representative of Oribe's taste and will consider them against the wabi aesthetic of Rikyu that was discussed in the previous lectures.

​The series "Masterworks of Japanese Tea Tradition" is presented in conjunction with the Nikkei National Museum and Cultural Centre. All lectures are presented by Maiko Behr of SaBi Tea Arts. 

​Recordings of all sessions are currently available for viewing to registered participants until November 30th. Please contact us for more information.
