Matsudaira Fumai was a ''daimyô'' of [[Matsue han]], and famed tea master.
Matsudaira Fumai was the seventh [[Matsudaira clan (Echizen)|Matsudaira clan]] ''daimyô'' of [[Matsue han]], and a famed tea master.
He took his pseudonym Fumai from a phrase "''furaku fumai''" which appears in the ''Mumonkan hyakujô yako''.
Fumai became lord of Matsue at age 17, and with the help of ''[[karo|karô]]'' [[Asahi Tanba]], enacted reforms to improve the domain's administration. He began practicing [[tea ceremony]] at the age of 20, and later began assembling a notable collection of tea implements.
He compiled a guide to ''meibutsu gire'' (famous textiles associated with [[tea ceremony]]) published in [[1789]]-[[1797]], and was also involved in the rebuilding of the [[Kohoan]] at [[Daitoku-ji]], which had been destroyed by fire in [[1793]].
