The Zen Buddhist monk Sakugen Shūryō traveled to China twice on trade missions, in 1541 and 1547, when as chief envoy he was granted an audience with the Ming emperor. Sakugen kept detailed accounts of his travels and transcribed inscriptions on plaques and tablets at famous sites. This dynamically brushed section records notes on celebrated water springs in the Jiangsu region, which he visited during his first trip: “The spring named Zhon Lingquan on Mount Jin, at the heart of the Yangzi River, is called the Number One source of water under Heaven. That of the Huishan Temple at the Jinlong Feng is counted as Number Two. Jianchi Pond at Huqiu Temple in Suzhou is Number Three.”
