Sesson Yūbai, one of the most accomplished literati Zen monks, was both proficient in calligraphy and learned in Chinese poetry. After studying with the Chinese émigré monk Yishan Yining (Japanese: Issan Ichinei, 1247–1317), he spent twenty-three years in China, and his calligraphy reveals the influence of the latest Chinese styles. Ample space between the columns of text allows the longer horizontal strokes and pronounced diagonals to stand out. The humble aspirations expressed in this poem are echoed in many Zen writings that honor a frugal life. My thatched hut is woven with disordered layers of clouds. Already my footprints are washed away with the red dust. If you ask, this monk has few plans for his life: Before my window, flowing waters; facing my pillow, books. —Trans. Jonathan Chaves
