Imakita Kosen
Imakita Kōsen (今北 洪川?, 3 August 1816 - 16 January 1892) was a Japanese Rinzai Zen rōshi and Neo-Confucianist. As one-time head abbot of Engakuji in Kamakura, Japan, he was known as a government loyalist and is remembered for his support of Emperor Meiji—in the 1870s serving as Doctrinal Instructor for the Ministry of Doctrine. He did his Zen training under Daisetsu Shoen and received inka from Gisan. Kosen's own Dharma heir was Soyen Shaku.[1][2][3]
