Time and again
You, too,
Must long for
Your old nest
Deep in the mountain.

Ryokan Taigu – Collection 1



Ryokan Taigu

Ryōkan Taigu (1758–1831) was a quiet and eccentric Sōtō Zen Buddhist monk who lived much of his life as a hermit. Ryōkan is remembered for his poetry and calligraphy, which present the essence of Zen life.
