Sen no Rikyû is considered the founder of [[tea ceremony]] as we know it today, and perhaps the chief contributor to the development of tearoom architecture, ceramics appreciation, and of the ''[[wabi]]-[[sabi]]'' aesthetic. All three major schools of tea ceremony today, the [[Urasenke]], [[Omotesenke]], and [[Mushanokoji senke|Mushanokôji senke]] schools, all claim lineage (through disciples) back to Rikyû, and claim to be continuing the tradition of his style of tea.
