Sen no Rikyu: Honkakubo's Student Writings (Death of a Tea Master) (1989) delves into the aftermath of the enigmatic demise of the renowned tea master Sen no Rikyu, as his devoted pupil Honkakubo embarks on a quest to unravel the enigma surrounding his mentor's fate. The narrative unfolds in two distinct timelines. In the earlier period, Sen no Rikyu serves as a revered tea master and advisor to the formidable warlord Hideyoshi in sixteenth-century feudal Japan. His daughter, the enchanting Lady Ogin, harbors a secret affection for Lord Ukon, who has incurred Hideyoshi's wrath by embracing Christianity. Meanwhile, Rikyu's opposition to Hideyoshi's ambitious plans to invade China and Korea further strains their relationship. The volatile Hideyoshi, spurned by Ogin's rejection, retaliates by issuing grave threats against both Ogin and her father.
