I-kʾung
I-kʾung (Jap., Giku; 9th cent.). Chinese Ch'an/Zen master of the Rinzai school, who was invited by the empress, Tachibana Kachiko, to bring Ch'an to Japan. Danran-ji in Kyōto was built for him, but he found no apt pupils, and he therefore returned to China. No further attempts were made at this translation until the 12th/13th cents.
