The Origin of Koyama En’an The founder of Koyama En’an resided on the ridge of Mount Koyama. At first, he was a monk of the Zen sect and called himself En’an. His Dharma name was Shogaku. Although his origins are unclear, his virtue and conduct were widely known among people. Villagers admired him, and many became his disciples. He built a hermitage, making it a place for quiet cultivation, and bathed in the pure air of the mountain forest. In his leisure, he enjoyed calligraphy and painting, and was also skilled in poetry and prose. His brushwork was natural and free from vulgarity. Later, his disciples transmitted his teachings and called themselves the Koyama school. After En’an’s death, the one who succeeded his teaching was called Shoun. Shoun also faithfully preserved his master’s style, opening the gate and instructing the people. The people of that time praised him, saying: "The spirit of Koyama remains pure even to this day."
