(1207–98).
Japanese Zen master who did much to establish
k
an
practice in Japan, not least by introducing the
Wu-men-kuan
(see
K
AN
). In 1249, he visited China and trained in (or perhaps established) the Fuke school (where playing the flute replaces
s
tra
recitation), but settled with
Wu-men
Hui-k'ai, of the Y
gi school of
Rinzai
. He returned to Japan in 1254, and founded Saih
-ji (later called K
koku-ji). His teaching remained eclectic, but with concentration on k
ans of the
Mumonkan (Wu-men kuan
) especially its opening k
an on ‘nothingness’.
