*''Born: [[1750]]''

*''Japanese'': 仙厓義梵 ''(Sengai Gibon)''
Sengai was a prominent [[Zenga|Zen painter]] of the [[Edo period]], second in fame today perhaps only to [[Hakuin]]. He is perhaps most known for a painting featuring a sequence of square, triangle, and circle.
Rejecting established institutions as Hakuin did, Sengai undertook the reconstruction of the [[Shofuku-ji|Shôfuku-ji]] in [[Hakata]], supposedly the first [[Zen]] temple ever established in Japan. There, he took on numerous students, and produced many works of painting and calligraphy. His works are known to have had a notable influence on postwar American modern art artists such as John Cage and Allen Ginsberg.<ref>Alexandra Munroe, ''The Third Mind: American Artists Contemplate Asia, 1860-1989'', Guggenheim Museum (2009).</ref>
