- Subject Matter
- Yueshan Daozong, a native of Fujian province in southeast China, immigrated to Japan and Muan Xingtao, who was by then the second-highest ranking prelate in the new Ôbaku Zen temple of Manpukuji. Considered Muan’s foremost disciple, he eventually rose to become the seventh abbot of the monastery. Known in Japan as Etsuzan (the Japanese pronunciation of his name), Yueshan was renowned in his day as a fine calligrapher in both running (seen here) and block script.
