*''Born: [[1695]''
*''Died: [[1778]]''
Chikamatsu Shigenori was a retainer of the [[Owari Tokugawa clan]], and an amateur [[tea ceremony|tea]] enthusiast, known for his writings on the subject.
Shigenori's [[1739]] manuscript "Legends of the Tea Ceremony" consists of seven volumes, containing over three hundred tea-related anecdotes, some of which he experienced himself, and some of which he merely heard secondhand. The text circulated in manuscript form for many decades, before being printed (published) in [[1804]], after Shigenori's death, under the title "Stories from a Tearoom Window." The volume was then republished in [[1816]], in response to popular demand.
