'Taikyo-an', a complex of buildings that housed Kōetsu's family, workshops and a temple (法華寺院), lay at the heart of the village.
Almost all inhabitants were followers of Nichiren, and it's probable Kōetsu wanted to create a religious commune free from outside interference.

'Obliged' to move to Takagamine, in 1615 Kōetsu established an artists' retreat.
There is much debate over whether his focus at this time was art or religion. As a devout supporter of Nichiren Buddhism, Kōetsu's first move was to build a worship hall called 'Taikyo-an' (大虚庵).

🎭🍵THE ARTISAN'S ESCAPE🎨⚔️
In 1615 Tokugawa Ieyasu granted renowned craftsman Hon'ami Koetsu (本阿弥光悦 1558-1637) a parcel of land at Takagamine (鷹峯), on the condition that he relocate his family from the city.
Many believe the gift was actually a mild form of exile!

La cerámica Raku toma su nombre de los alfareros japoneses que se especializaron en tazones para té en el siglo XVI-XVII. Hon’ami Kōetsu (1558-1637. Maestro de té y de pintura) fue uno de los primeros en trabajar exclusivamente estas piezas. Hoy en día son considerados un Bien Cultural.

Kōetsu was a potter, lacquerer, and calligrapher, whose work inspired the founding of the Rinpa school of painting (琳派).
As a disciple of the disgraced tea master Furuta Oribe (古田織部), and thanks to his links to the Western daimyō, the Tokugawa likely distrusted Kōetsu.
