He was the chief envoy of a 1547 mission sent by the Ashikaga shogunate to the court of the Jiajing Emperor in Beijing. ==Tenryū-ji abbot== Sakugen was a member of the community of monks at Tenryū-ji before his travels in China from 1538 to 1541 and from 1546 to 1550.〔Nussbaum, Louis Frédéric ''et al.'' (2005). ''Japan Encyclopedia,'' p.813.〕 He was the vice envoy of the mission which traveled to China in 1541. The trade negotiations proceeded smoothly, and in the leisurely months of his stay, Sakugen spent his time sightseeing, visiting Chinese poets and studying Chinese styles of composition. He would later write several books about his experiences in China.〔Fogel, Joshua A. (1996). ( ''The Literature of Travel in the Japanese Rediscovery of China, 1862-1945,'' pp. 31-32. )〕 In China, Sakugen bought or received as gifts 17 books which were later copied and distributed in Japan.〔Kornicki, Peter. (1997). ( ''The Book in Japan: a Cultural History from the Beginning to the Nineteenth Century,'' Vol. 7, p. 288. )〕 He would be named abbot of the Tenryū-ji monastery. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Sakugen Shūryō」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
