*''Chinese/Japanese'': 悦峯道章 ''(Yuèfēng Dàozhāng / Eppou Doushou)''
Yuèfēng Dàozhāng, often known as Eppô in Japan, was a Chinese [[Obaku|Ôbaku]] [[Zen]] monk who lived for many years in [[Nagasaki]].
He first arrived in Nagasaki in [[1657]], and was invited to [[Edo]] in [[1705]] for an audience with Shogun [[Tokugawa Tsunayoshi]], during which he also met such esteemed figures as [[Yanagisawa Yoshiyasu]] and [[Ogyu Sorai|Ogyû Sorai]]. Japanese monks interpreted for him during the meeting with the shogun, in which he was interviewed about Zen and other matters; much of the conversation was also conducted through the writing of notes, in order to help convey what spoken exchanges failed to.
