The Muromachi priest of the Rinzai Sect of Zen Buddhism, Motsurin Joto (?-1492) was also known by the pseudonym of Bokusai. Succeeding Ikkyu Sojun (1394-1481) of the Daitokuji Temple, he served at the Shuon-An, the Buddhist structure inside the temple precinct where the Reverend Ikkyu spent his last years. After his master’s demise, Motsurin Joto edited his biography and built a small structure Shinju-An in the temple compounds. Motsurin was a renowned Indian-ink painter who left behind the Portrait of the Reverend Ikkyu, designated as an important cultural asset (Tokyo National Museum). This bokuseki (Indian-ink calligraphy by Zen priests) shows a line from a poem originally found in the Guzunsu Yuyao (Jp. Koson-Shukugo-Yo.), the four-book edition of ancient Tang and Song sermons, and Shanlin Leiju (Jp. Zenrin Ruiju), the 20-volume collection of questions concerning the deeds of priests of ancient renown. This poem was often calligraphed by Zen priests; it sings of the fragrant morning air after a night of a spring rain and goes on to preach that even the fallen petals are worth viewing, symbolizing transient beauty. The rhythmical and free-flowing style speaks eloquently of the writer’s sprit and training under the Reverend Ikkyu.
