Yueshan Daozong (Jp. Etsuzan Doshu) was a priest of the Obaku School who came to Japan from Ming China and was later naturalized. He became heir to Mokuan Shoto (1611-1684), the second bishop at Obaku-Zan MampukujiTemple and became the 7th bishop of the same temple. Two years later, he retired from the Mampukuji and resided in one of the residences in the precinct called Jifuku-In. Since ancient times, the phoenix (Ch. fenghuang) was believed to possess special magical powers in Chinese mythology and was often cited with another imaginary flying creature the ‘kirin’(lit. ‘giraffe’). The appearance of this magical bird was believed to be testimony to the greatness of a ruler. The legendary phoenix is believed to live among Chinese parasol trees, eating bamboo nuts and drinking from a sweet spring. This explains the characters ‘green bamboo’ and ‘phoenix’ found in the exhibited calligraphy. The heavy and dynamic hand testifies Doshu’ mastery of the Mokuan-style calligraphy hailed as the Obaku no Sanpitsu (‘Three Brushes of Obaku’).
Phoenix has lived among green bamboos for a long time.
