Mu'an
Template:Use dmy dates Template:More citations needed Mu'an (Template:Zh; Japanese Mokuan Shōtō) (1611–1684) was a Chinese Chan monk who followed his master Ingen to Japan in 1654. Mokuan was from Chuanchow in what was then Fukien Province.[1] He and Sokuhi Nyoitsu were the two disciples most involved in spreading Ingen's teachings.[1]
History
Together they founded the Ōbaku Zen school and Mampuku-ji, the school's head temple at Uji in 1661. In 1664, Muyan succeeded his master as chief of the temple and in 1671 established another temple called Zuishō-ji at Shirokane, Edo. He is honored as one of the Ōbaku no Sanpitsu.
His work is kept in a variety of museums, including the Smart Museum of Art,[2] University of Michigan Museum of Art,[3][4] the Indianapolis Museum of Art,[5] the Museum of Fine Arts, Boston,[6] and the British Museum.[7]
