Dairin Soto (1480-1568) was a Rinzai sect Zen monk during Japan’s warring era. Before entering the priesthood, his layman name was Fujiwara and he was a native of Kyoto. After serving at the Tenryuji Temple looking after Buddhist sutras, he moved to the Daitokuji Temple where he succeeded Kogaku Soko (1465-1548). He resided in the Tokuzenji, erected in Daitokuji’s precincts, and was appointed the 90th bishop of this great temple in 1536. Many wealthy merchants of Sakai port city (today’s Osaka Prefecture) and tea masters flocked to Dairin, who contributed greatly in building strong ties between the much-revered temple and townspeople as well as tea devotees. Miyoshi Nagayoshi (1523-64) was converted in 1556 under Dairin Soto’s priesthood, who later founded the Nansoji Temple in Sakai. He was later granted the title of Butsuin-Ensho-Zenji by Emperor Gonara (1496-1557), and was posthumously named the Shogaku-Futsu-Kokushi by Emperor Ohgimachi (1517-93).The single-line shown here is a poem from a collection of Bai Juyi’s poetry (Jp. Hakuraku Ten), which likens mist to woven silk and the moon to a bow, depicting autumn scenery. The powerful yet serene strokes testify the master’s hand.
The moon is like a bow.
