Abstract
Collection of traditional biographies of Zen teachers compiled by Tōyō Eichō 東陽英朝 (1428–1504) and edited by his distant successor Gudō Tōshoku 愚堂東寔 (1579–1661). It contributed to establish the new Rinzai orthodoxy that was to dominate the Tokugawa period. Since the year indicated at the end of this woodblock print is 1496 (Meiō 明應5年) it has been included in the "Medieval texts" collection.
