Katagiri Sekishû was the founder of the [[Sekishu-ryu|Sekishû school]] of [[tea culture]], one of the major schools of the [[Edo period]].
Establishing his school in opposition to the Sen schools of [[Sen Sotan|Sen Sôtan]] (grandson of [[Sen no Rikyu|Sen no Rikyû]]), Sekishû emphasized teacher-disciple lineages over hereditary inheritance. His school later splintered into many different branches as a result.
Sekishû served as tea master to [[Shogun]] [[Tokugawa Ietsuna]] beginning in [[1665]].
[[Oguchi Shoo|Ôguchi Shôô]] ([[1689]]-[[1764]], aka Gansui), a later master of the Sekishû school, produced ''Toji no tamoto'', the only known text devoted entirely to the topic of tea practice for women, in [[1721]].
