Rikyu to Hideyoshi (Shueisha Bunko)

[Machine Translation] After destroying Katsuie Shibata and taking custody of Oichi's three daughters, Chacha, Ohatsu, and Oe, Hideyoshi solidified his position as the ruler of Japan. He soon made Chacha his concubine, and Oe his political partner in a marriage, while he was determined to perpetuate the Toyotomi regime. Sen no Rikyu, the founder of Wabicha (tea ceremony), served as Hideyoshi's tea master after Nobunaga Shindenaga and presided over the Kitano Grand Tea Ceremony, the greatest event in Japan, and played an important role in the government as an intermediary between the various feudal lords. This is a gorgeous tale of the Warring States period centered on these two men.
