ところどころ...14章 岡山旅行: 宝福寺/Hofuku-ji part 1
At Hofuku-ji there are a couple of statues and a painting that illustrate what is probably the most famous story about Sesshu, although how much of the story is actually true will never be known. What brings many visitors here is the temples association with the man who later took the name Sesshu, - the artist considered by many to be the greatest Japanese painter of all time. Born in 1420 to a samurai family in nearby Akahama, as a child Sesshu did his initial zen training at Hofukuji. Around age 20 he moved to Kyoto and continued his Zen training and studies at Shokoku-ji Temple and his painting studies under Tensho Shubun, the leading artist of the day. Sesshu died in 1506 at the age of 87. Originally of the Tendai sect, Iyama Hofuku-ji has (since 1232) belonged to the Rinzai Zen sect of Zen Buddhism.)
