Daigu Ryokan

Daigu Ryokan was a peaceful and idiosyncratic Soto Zen monk who lived much of his life as a recluse.
 
Detached from the monastic association of his seminary and from material burdens he lived in poverty and solitude.
   
He left us some fourteen hundred poems mainly composed in the classic forms of tanka and waka with a lesser number of haiku.
