His teacher in the tea ceremony was Senator no Rikyū.
He was originally a retainer of Oda Nobunaga and Toyotomi Hideyoshi. He became the foremost tea master in the land after Rikyū"s death, and taught this art to the shōgun Tokugawa Hidetada. Among his other particularly famous tea ceremony students were Kobori Enshū and Honami Kōetsu.
The kind of tea ceremony that he established is known as Oribe-ryū (see Schools of Japanese tea ceremony), and the style of ceramics that are attributed to his artistic influence are known as Oribe-yaki.
He also designed a style of stone lantern for the roji tea garden, known as Oribe-dōrō. During the year 1600, Oribe received a 10,000-koku income.
During the Osaka Campaign of 1615, Oribe was forced to plot in Kyoto against the Tokugawa and the Emperor, on the behalf of the defenders of Osaka.
