Isshi Bunshu (1608-46) was a Zen priest of the Rinzai sect born as the third son of Iwakura Tomotaka and used several pseudonyms including Tokoshi (named after his residence of Toko-An), Kokan and Kanmu. Isshi Bunshu became a pupil of Takuan Soho (1573-1645) of Sakai (in Osaka) and Ungo Kiyo (1582-1659). A devout Buddhist, Retired Emperor Gomizuno-o (1596-1680) appointed Isshi Bunshu to head the Reigenji in Kamo, Kyoto. In 1641, Bunshu erected the Daibaizan Hojoji in Tamba, but moved to Eigenji in Ohmi in 1643, contributing greatly to its prosperity. Enjoying friendships with contemporary cultural elites such as Karasumaru Mitsuhiro (1579-1638), Kobori Enshu (1579-1647), Konoe Nobuhiro (1599-1647) and Shokado Shojo (1584-1639), Isshi Bunshu was himself a highly accomplished tea master, calligrapher and painter.‘Our life is liｋe the cloudｓ that float in the sky or the water that flows in a stream. It moves constantly, never settling at one place.’ This seven-character-quatrain sums up Isshi Bunshu’s interpretation of life. Quite rare for a Zen priest, the calligraphy shows Bunshu’s training in the Japanese style of writing. The free-flowing style with clear-cut stokes proves what an excellent calligrapher Isshi Bunshu was.
Our life is liｋe the cloudｓ that float in the sky or the water that flows in a stream. It moves constantly, never settling at one place.
