Here is another event regarding Nobunaga and tea utensils that took place in early 1570.
Chronicle of Lord Nobunaga (p. 140)
"At that time, the most famous objects of art in the realm were the following tea ceremony articles, which were to be found in Sakai:
Item: painting of sweets. Tennojiya Sogyu
Item: [tea-leaf jar] Komatsushima. Yakushin
Item: [flower vase] Kojiguchi Aburaya Joyu
Item: painting of a bell. Matsunaga Danjo
Each of them was truly renowned piece. Using Yukan and Niwa Gorozaemon as his emissaries, Nobunaga let it be known that he wanted them for his own collection. The owners who could not possibly disobey Nobunaga's orders, presented the articles without demur. Nobunaga ordered that they be given gold and silver in exchange."
Nina Gorozaemon is Niwa Nagahide.
Nobunaga no tame!
