== Career == While producing ridge tiles for Toyotomi Hideyoshi's Jurakudai Palace in 1574, Chojiro's exceptional talent working with clay was noticed by Sen no Rikyu, the Emperor's influential teamaster. Rikyu commissioned Chojiro to make tea wares for Emperor Hideyoshi's tea ceremonies that reflected Zen Buddhists philosophies of harmony, respect, purity, and tranquility.
