A son of Emperor GoKomatsu (1377-1433), Ikkyu Sojun (1394-1481) was born in Kyoto to a mother reputed to have been the daughter of a reclusive former vassal to the Southern Court. At the age of six he was apprenticed to the priest Shogai Shukan (a disciple of Tesshu Tokusai), abbot of the Ankokuji zen temple in Yamashiro province (Kyoto prefecture). Given the Buddhist name Shunken, he would spend the early part of his life moving from temple to temple. In 1415, at the age of 21, he would settle for a while as the disciple of Kaso Sodon (1352-1428), a priest whom he had long respected. Sodon gave him the name Ikkyu Sojun. Ikkyu spent most of the middle years of his life moving between various temples in Yamashiro, eventually overseeing the construction of the Shuon-an (Kyo-Tanabe city, Kyoto prefecture) in 1456, at the age of 63.As a person, Ikkyu was aloof from fame and wealth, and never courted dignitaries. It is said he always acted according to his beliefs, the reason perhaps why he was often labeled eccentric or heterodox. His calligraphy, unsurprisingly, was highly idiosyncratic, reflecting his willful personality. Occasionally, when in the mood, he would take to painting, another medium in which he exhibited an unusual, self-taught style. The paintings with poems shown here are perhaps typical, though rare, examples of his endeavors in these fields.Towards the end of his life, at the age of 81, he was nominated to the abbotship of Daitokuji Temple in Kyoto, though discord with other priests there meant he never took up the position. Reconstruction work at Daitokuji Temple had begun in the year of his nomination, in 1474, funded by Owa Sorin (?-1501), a wealthy merchant from Sakai (Osaka prefecture) and a great believer in Ikkyu. Ikkyu, however, died at the age of 88 before the reconstruction work had been completed.
