The Buddhist temple Ikiyasan Isakiji lies about 12.4 miles (20 km) from Hikone Castle, on the shore of Lake Biwa in central Japan. Nukina Kaioku depicted the temple as seen from a boat while touring Hikone. He also inscribed a poem about the experience, explaining that it was one of three written during the journey. Born into a samurai family specializing in archery, Kaioku later became recognized as one of the three greatest calligraphers of his time. Nukina Kaioku was from a family that taught archery to regional military rulers, but being physically weak, he concentrated his efforts in calligraphy and studying Confucian philosophy, a system of thought prized by the military class.
