Urasenke (裏千家?, lit. "the rear Sen house/family") is the name of one of the main
schools of
Japanese tea ceremony. It is one of the san-Senke (three Sen houses/families); the other two are
Omotesenke and
Mushakōjisenke.
The san-Senke derive from
Sen Rikyū, and it was not until after the era of his grandson,
Sen Sōtan,
that the three separate lines of the family came into being. Three sons
of Sōtan each became heirs to the family name, Sen, and to the family
profession of teaching the Way of Tea that their mutual family founder,
Rikyū, had developed.
