Assassin’s Creed Shadows - Tea Bowls for Rikyu - Part 1

The Yamashiro region feels like the beating heart of this land—alive, full of movement, yet somehow anchored by tradition. My path led me through Kyoto, and for once, not toward battle or blood, but to conversation. I sought out Master Sen no Rikyu, the man whose wisdom in simplicity is spoken of everywhere, from the humblest teahouses to the grandest courts. This time, I did not hide behind a false name. I told him who I truly was, and he accepted it without pause or judgment. To him, titles and stations mean nothing. All people, he says, are equal within the quiet of the tea room.

We spoke for some time, not as assassin and master, but as two souls in pursuit of understanding. He told me he was helping a friend build a teahouse—a place of harmony amid the chaos that grips the land. His eyes glimmered with the same peace I often chase but rarely catch. Then, with a soft smile, he asked if I had seen any unique tea bowls in my travels. I showed him one I had found along my journeys—a simple, weathered bowl with imperfections that made it somehow perfect. He turned it in his hands, nodded thoughtfully, and said it reminded him of his master’s work.

He asked for more—not out of greed, but to complete a set of seven. Seven bowls for seven lessons, he said. Each one representing a step toward balance and clarity. I promised I would keep watch for them as I continued my travels. We bowed to each other and shared the stillness that only true understanding can bring.

As I left his home, I carried not only his request but his words. There are many ways to wage peace, and perhaps finding beauty in broken things is one of them.
