WHEN IKKŌ NARASAKI was a boy, he showed great talent as a calligrapher and won a national calligraphy contest judged by the Emperor. In 1945, Zuiōji buildings had fallen into disrepair; there were few monks and the practice had also been neglected, so Narasaki Rōshi raised funds and rebuilt the facilities. In 1951, then, he convinced to come a great teacher specialized in Zen Master Dōgen’s style of monastic living: Hashimoto Ekō Rōshi who reestablished the practice there, thus, over the next 40 years Zuiōji Sōdō became one of the foremost Sōtō Zen monastic centres in Japan attracting several superb teachers such as Tsūgen Narasaki Rōshi
大慈通元楢崎, Dainin Katagiri Rōshi 慈海大忍片桐 and Saitō Hōkan Rōshi 大道芳寛斎藤, who all became renowned Zen Masters. Daigen Ikkō Daioshō engaged in countless buddhist and social activities, always displaying a powerful presence and wholehearted commitment to devoting himself entirely to the Way of Buddhas and Ancestors. In Japan, he is widely seen as a remarkable Sōtō Zen Master of the 20th century.
