Is Hyouge Mono historically accurate?


The anime and manga, Hyouge Mono, is set in the Sengoku era and follows tea
related items. I can see that in general the events of the era seem to be more
or less accurate, and all the wacky outfits probably aren't accurate (or are
they?), but I'm wondering about the tea related aspect of the series.

Did the warlords of the time (especially Oda Nobunaga) have tea masters and
treasure master crafted tea-ware in any way like they're portrayed in Hyouge
Mono? Are any of the crafted items, at least the ones with proper names, real
items from the period?




All characters on the show are based on historical figures. Furuta Sasuke is
in fact Furuta Oribe but he will only change his name later in life. Same goes
for Sen no Soeki who will become famous under the name of Sen no Rikyu.
