  The influence of Zen Master Ikky (1394-1481) permeates the full field of medieval Japanese aesthetics. His work is allusion rich, and, as is common to his Tang poetic models, his verse makes frequent allusion to elements from the full range of China's cultural history and literature. He draws as well from a variety of Buddhist texts in Chinese, including its koans.
