Nanka Genko (1538-1604), the Zen monk, belonged to the Myoshin lineage and originally hailed from Mino (Gifu Pref.). He entered the priesthood by following Hoshuku Sotei (birth and death unknown). After studying at the Sufukuji in Mino, then at the Erinji in Kai (Yamanashi Pref.), he became successor to the Reverend Kaisen Joki (?-1582). In 1570, Nanka Genko became the monk of the Myoshinji at the age of 33, thereafter returning to serve at this temple several times. Several powerful military patrons including Lord Oda Nobunaga (1534-82) and Toyotomi Hideyoshi (1536-98) became devoted followers, and the latter particularly adored Nanka Genko’s Zen taste. Another devoted worshipper was Emperor Goyozei (1571-1617), who later bestowed Genko the posthumous title of Joe-Enmyo-Kokushi. Nanka Genko’s book is entitled Kyohaku Roku named after his pseudonym of Kyohaku.Just like the preceding exhibit, Nanka Genko’s calligraphy is executed on the paper which looks much like the previous shikishi (colored aquare card-board), thus enables one to assume that this shikishi and the preceding one had been collected in the same book. The poem appears to be a quotation from a book in classical Chinese, Ching-te Record of the Transmission of the Lamp (Ching-te Ch'uan-teng Lu, Keitoku Dentõroku), vol.7. The calligraphy shows the eccentric hand characteristic of Nanka Genko.
