Today there are many things that have the name of Rikyu such as Rikyu-bashi (chopsticks), Rikyu-nezumi (gray color), Rikyu-yaki (grilled fish or meat with sesame) and Rikyu-dana (shelf), which suggest that Rikyu contributed not only to a tea ceremony but also to the Japanese tradition.
「利休箸」「利休鼠」「利休焼」「利休棚」など、多くの物に利休の名が残っており、茶道のみならず日本の伝統に大きな足跡を刻んでいるといえるだろう。
