 With such an influential master, Shōtetsu met and learned from many of the most influential poets of the age.In 1406, Shōtetsu left his master, entering a Kyoto Rinzai Zen temple called Tōfuku-ji; no doubt he was admitted in no little part because of his relationship to Ryōshun (now in his nineties), who had previously gone to that temple.It was during this period that the Reizei family and its poetic ideals (along with associated poets) flourished and received high titles and numerous grants of land.
