The Reverend Jitsuden Soshin (1434-1507) was a priest of the Rinzai denomination during the latter Muromachi Period. Originally hailing from Ena in Mino country (today’s Gifu Prefecture), his secular family name was Hayashi. In 1462, Soshin served close to the Reverend Shumpo Soki (1416-96) and adhered to his principles. Soshin was appointed the 56th bishop of Daitokuji Temple in Kyoto in 1486, but he lived in the Yotoku-In sub-temple inside the temple compounds after retirement. Kogaku Soko (1465-1548) and Tokei Somoku (1454-1517) were just two of his famous disciples.This letter is addressed to Shumpo Soki, Soshin’s master. It reads: “I received a letter from Yoshun-An sub-temple that you are going down to Sakai. We have made arrangements to welcome you around the 20th.” In 1462, Shumpo Soki became the head priest of Myoun-In, established by Ashikaga Mitsuaki who later renamed this sub-temple Yotoku-In. This sub-temple was then moved to the Daitokuji compound during the time of the Reverent Jitsuden Soshin. During the Onin Civil War, Shumpo left Kyoto to the safety of Settsu (today’s Hyogo Prefecture) to live at a temple called Jofukuji, but he then moved to Yoshun-Anlocated in Izumi-Sakai (in today’s Osaka). It is obvious that this letter was written when Shumpo was making this last journey, which is presumed to be around the early Bunmei years (around 1469-87) when Jitsuden was around 40 years of age.
