Ichiô Genshin was a scholar of [[Neo-Confucianism]] of the [[Satsunan school]], having studied under [[Gessho Gentoku]].

Genshin was born in Ijiki (today, part of [[Kagoshima]] City) in [[Satsuma province]]. He was entered into the Buddhist priesthood as a child, and came under the tutelage of Gessho Gentoku, becoming an expert in [[Song Dynasty]] Neo-Confucianism. Genshin left Kyushu to study at the [[Shinnyo-ji]] and [[Kennin-ji]] temples in [[Kyoto]], but eventually returned to become head priest at the Ankoku-ji in Obi, in [[Hyuga province|Hyûga province]].

Genshin later retired to the Ryûgen-ji in Fukushima (in Kyushu), and in [[1573]] relocated to the Jinjo-ji, where he died in [[1592]].
