Imai Sokyu (1520-93) was a merchant and tea master from Sakai near Osaka. He is first mentioned in the Shincho-Ko ki in 1568.
Chronicle of Lord Nobunaga (p. 123) "The Five Home Provinces and the neighboring provinces had all submitted to Nobunaga's rule. Matsunaga Danjo presented Tsukumogami, unparalleled in our country, to Nobunaga, and Imai Sokyu offered the famous tea-leaf jar Matsushima together with the tea caddy called Nasu, which belonged to Joo."
The video above, Owada Tetsuo explains this in great detail.
