Urasenke the 14th - Sekiso Soshitsu (Tantansai) 1893-1964
Dandansai, who lived through three eras, Meiji, Taisho and Showa, successfully protected the Urasenke in times of chaos and uncertainty during and after wars. His historical contributions include, the forming and promotion of an affiliated organization Dankokai, making Konnichian an incorporated foundation, and the building of the Sadokaikan. Also, both prior to and after the war, he made an effort to reach out abroad and has established tea rooms in Hawaii and Brazil.
He was also actively involved in providing tea ceremonies and tea rooms to shrines and temples all over Japan. Today there are tea rooms everywhere that were made by Dandansai.
