Later in life, Kôkan considered retiring to [[Kyoto]]. He had a farewell party in Edo on [[1812]]/4/1, put his house up for sale, and left for Kyoto, but soon returned. He moved to [[Kamakura]] the following summer, where he became a disciple of the Zen priest Seisetsu and was granted the Buddhist name Tôgen. Before long, however, he left Kamakura for [[Atami]], after writing out an obituary for himself and sending it to his friends. Living his last years in Atami and Azabu (in Edo), and associating only with a very small circle of people, he continued painting until his death on [[1818]]/10/21.
