The cultural achievements of the Ōbaku school extend beyond calligraphy and poetry to include sencha, music, and literature. The Japanese literati saw steeped tea as related to the refined culture of China, especially that of the Ming dynasty (1368–1644), which they sought to emulate. With its distinctive material culture, sencha is closely associated with Chinese learning.
