Completed the Master's program at Bukkyo University in 1976. Became the chief priest of Gokuraku-ji Temple of the Daitoku-ji school in Kinosaki-gun, Hyogo Prefecture in 1978. Passed away at the age of 78 in 1985. 【Zen Phrase】 Quoted from the Zen phrase "Pine Tree, No Change in Color, Bamboo Has Upward and Downward Joints" found in the "Zenrin Kushu" and other collections. It is an analogy for things that remain unchanged over time, as the pine needles are always green. It is often used in tea ceremonies, as it is related to the essence of the tea ceremony. Seigan was also a high priest who was well-versed in the tea ceremony and favored writing this phrase. #FineArt #InteriorDesign #JapaneseStyleRoom #Alcove #TeaUtensils #TeaCeremony #HangingScroll #Hospitality #TeaHanging #Calligraphy #ZenPhrase #DaitokujiTemple #RinzaiSchool #MuneokiNishigaki #PineTreeNoChangeInColor
