His azana (courtesy name) was Genpaku. His dogo (religious name) was Genshuku. His other names were Tottosai and Tossai. He was also known by the nickname Kojiki Sotan (Beggar Sotan). His father was Sen no Shoan, the stepson of Rikyū's second wife, and his mother was Okame, Rikyū's daughter. He succeeded Shoan's Kyoto Senke. He was the 3rd generation of the Sen family. He is the founder of the Sotan school (the three Sen families). Recent research has refuted the theory that he was the biological son of Rikyū, Sen no Doan. There is also a theory that he learned Rikyū's original mannerisms from Koichi Soan. Contents 1. Youth (Lineage; Kasshoku Sotan; Shoan's Tea and Sotan; Genpaku's Name) 2.
