It clarifies Musō’s far-reaching significance as a Buddhist leader, waka poet, landscape designer, and political figure. In doing so, it sheds light on how elite Zen culture was formed through a complex interplay of politics, religious pedagogy and praxis, poetry, landscape design, and the concerns of institution building. The appendix contains the first complete English translation of Musō’s personal waka anthology, Shōgaku Kokushishū .Brill's Japanese Studies Library64.Buddhist monksJapanBiographyRinzai (Sect)JapanHistoryZen BuddhismJapanHistoryPoets, JapaneseBiographyWakaHistory and criticismLandscape designersJapanBiographyLandscape designJapanHistoryBuddhist monksRinzai (Sect)History.Zen BuddhismHistory.Poets, JapaneseWakaHistory and criticism.Landscape designersLandscape designHistory.294.3927092Vallor Molly1524264NL-LeKBNL-LeKBBOOK9910795312903321Not seeing snow3765011UNINA
