Sôgyu was the son of [[Tsuda Sotatsu|Tsuda Sôtatsu]] and from a wealthy [[Sakai]] merchant family. He enjoyed the favor of [[Oda Nobunaga]] and later [[Toyotomi Hideyoshi]] for his skill at the tea ceremony. His familiarity with [[Akechi Mitsuhide]] seems to have damaged his reputation after Mitsuhide killed Oda Nobunaga in [[1582]] though he continued to attend notable tea ceremonies, including Hideyoshi's brief [[Grand Kitano Tea Ceremony]] in [[1587]].
