Gengensai was the 11th head of the [[Urasenke]] school of [[tea ceremony]]. At the [[1872 Kyoto Exposition]], in part to accommodate to foreign visitors who might have had difficulty sitting in the Japanese fashion, Gengensai introduced a new form of tea ceremony, called ''ryûrei'', which was performed seated on chairs around a table.
