With a letter from Awakawa Koichi (to Ueda Jin)
[Bun'ei Seikan]? - 1621 (Genna 7) A Zen monk from the early modern period. He went by the name Fuhoshi. He was from the Nakao clan of Ise. His secular name was Shigetada. It is unknown when he became a monk, but he accompanied Kato Kiyomasa as a monk during the first Korean invasion (the Bunroku War). In 1600 (Keicho 5), he became the head priest of Tofuku-ji Temple and then Nanzen-ji Temple. In 1614, he was commissioned by Katagiri Katsumoto to create an inscription on the bell of the Great Buddha of Hoko-ji Temple, which angered Tokugawa Ieyasu and sparked the Bell Inscription Incident. After the downfall of the Toyotomi clan, he was captured and imprisoned in Kyoto and then Sunpu for several years, but in September 1620 (Genwa 6), he lectured Emperor Gomizunoo on the Toho Poetry Collection.
