context_page_description: Urasenke is one of the schools of Japanese tea ceremony. Along with Omotesenke and Mushakōjisenke, it is one of the three lines of the Sen family descending from Sen no Rikyū, which together are known as the san-Senke or "three Sen houses/families".
  The name "Urasenke", literally meaning "rear Sen house/family," came into being as a natural occurrence, because of the location of the homestead of this line of the family in relation to what was originally the front house of the Sen estate. This applies equally to the name "Omotesenke", literally meaning "front Sen house/family." The name "Mushakōjisenke" for the other of the three lines of the family derives from the fact that the family's homestead is located along Mushakōji street.
