Note: Ryūtaku-ji is a Rinzai Buddhist temple located in Mishima, Shizuoka Prefecture, Japan, that was founded by Zen master Hakuin Ekaku in 1761. During the mid- twentieth century, Ryutaku-ji was led by a number of influential abbots, who encouraged and supported the study of Zen by Westerners. Most notable among these was Soen Nakagawa Roshi who was highly regarded as a calligrapher and haiku poet, often referred to as the "20th Century Basho."--Wikipedia.
