| Portrait of Master Tiechuan, courtesy of China National Library |
I recently received my order from China National Library for the materials I requested during my visit in Sept. 2015. Among them, I have the portrait of Master Tiechuan 鐵船 who was the last Chinese Chan master to be invited to Japan in 1720s. But it looks like he rejected the invitation and never sailed to Japan. I wrote a short blog about him last year. See Mystery of Master Tiechuan 鐵船, who was the Last Eminent Chinese Monk invited by the Edo Bakufu to Japan.
