Muan Xingtao (Jp. Mokuan Shoto, 1611-84) was a Chinese of Fujian province and a Zen priest. Mokuan (Muan) is an honorific title for a Zen master. Mokuan entered the priesthood at the age of 19 and completed his novitiate at Mt.Huang-bo (Jp. Obaku) under the famous Zen priest Ingen (1592-1673). It was Ingen who first came to Japan and invited Mokuan to join him. Mokuan arrived in 1655, when he was 45. He assisted at the opening of the Manpukuji temple (Uji, Kyoto) by Ingen and helped his master in founding the Obaku sect of Zen there. Mokuan succeeded Ingen as the second head of the temple in 1664. He is renowned as one of the ‘three brushes (or great master calligraphers) of the Obaku sect’, along Ingen and Sokuhi (1616-1671).Painting was more of a hobby for him, but here the vigor of the bamboo in its rich black inkwash achieves a truly marvelous harmony with Mokuan’s fine calligraphy.
修竹似佳人、臨風時一笑、写来絹素中、枝葉又清妙黄檗木庵并書
