Nippo Soshun (日峰宗舜)

Nippo Soshun

1367 – 1448

Nippō Soshun (1367–1448) is recorded in the Myōshin-ji line documentation as a fifteenth-century Rinzai abbot in the Ōtōkan stream. The surviving record preserves his lineage placement; little distinctive doctrinal material from his teaching is preserved in the modern Rinzai-shū historiography^[1].
