Zenkei Shibayama, (柴山 全慶,1894—1974), a former Abbot of Nanzenji, was a Japanese Rinzai master well-known for his commentary on the Mumonkan. One of his better-known students is Keido Fukushima, abbot of Tofuku-ji. Shibayama also taught at Otani University and was the head abbot of the entire Nanzenji Organization, overseeing the administration of over five-hundred temples.[1][2] Due to a number of lecture tours he undertook to the United States in the 1960's, and the translation of several of his books into English, Shibayama was a significant contributor to the establishment of Zen in America.
