Hakuin Ekaku (1685-1768) was born in Hara in Suruga (Shizuoka prefecture). He entered the church at the age of 14 at the Shoinji temple in Hara. After studying under priests in Numazu (Shizuoka prefecture) and Shinano (Nagano prefecture) he became a Zen priest. In 1718, at the age of 34 he became head of the Myoshinji temple in Kyoto. Later, he founded the Ryutakuji temple in Mishima (Shizuoka prefecture) but returned to spend the last years of his life at the Shoinji temple in the place of his birth, where he died at the age of 84. Although Ekaku’s was a life of contemplation spent largely isolated from the world, he also devoted much time to spreading the teaching of Buddha among the common people. He left a vast number of paintings and calligraphy on themes from his daily life.This is a letter of thanks to a doctor Ishii Gentoku (1671-1751) for his financial support.
