Poem in Chinese about Sugar 14th century Kokan Shiren Japanese A prominent figure in early fourteenth-century Japanese Zen, Shiren was born into an aristocratic family in Kyoto and studied Zen in Kamakura with the Chinese émigré monk Yishan Yining (Japanese: Issan Ichinei, 1247-1317). Shirens calligraphy reveals a debt to his master in its crisp brushwork, long horizontal strokes, and overall rightward-leaning tendency. The seven-character quatrain, about sugar, reads:Now let fire and water fight it out:Heat and boil it many times,It will form naturally;Dont say that it always tastes like honey.When you roll your tongueIt may also taste sour.—Trans. Yoshiaki Shimizu and John M. Rosenfield. Poem in Chinese about Sugar 42693
