Muan (Muang) Xingtao （Jp. Mokuan Shoto) was a priest of the Obaku lineage who lived during the early Edo Period. He originally came from Quanzhou in Fujian Province in Ming China. Entering the priesthood at the age of 19, he trained under Yinyuan Longqi (Jp. Ingen Ryuki; 1592-1673) at Mt. Huangbo (Jp. Obaku-Zan) and received certification of attaining spirited enlightenment. In the year following priest Yinyuan’s trip to Japan (1655), Muan Xingtao at the Fukusaiji Temple in Nagasaki, but later went up to Mt. Obaku in Uji (Kyoto) to assist Yinyuan build the Mampukuji Temple, where he became the second bishop in 1664. Thereafter, he devoted himself to the preparation and maintenance of the Buddhist halls and education of the congregation. Earning deep trust from the 4th Shogun Tokugawa Ietsuna (1641-1680), Priest Muan was instrumental in paving the way for the heyday of the Obaku lineage in Japan. He was 74 when he died in 1684. Muan Xingtao was lauded as one of the Obaku no Sanpitsu (‘Three Brushes of Obaku’) and was particularly excellent in the rapidly flowing semi-cursive writing style. This verse depicts a small thatched hermitage surrounded by tall pine and bamboo trees. Although executed in his advanced years, the powerful and dynamic strokes testify to Muan’s mastery of the art.
