He is also known by another name, 白崖窟 Hakkeikutsu, but is more widely known as 南天棒 (Nantenbo). He is known as one of the most powerful monks of the Meiji period, who always carried a Nanten stick with him. He visited Zen temples all over the country and beat monks in training without mercy. He traveled all over the country, challenging even his masters to Zen battles. He went to as many as twenty-five dojos, and if he found someone inexperienced, he would beat him mercilessly with a Nantian stick. At a time when telephones and telegraphs were inadequate, rumors of the arrival of the Nantenbo had some people trembling with fear. He also devoted himself to teaching the laity, and his influence was felt by such figures as 山岡鉄舟 Yamaoka Tesshu, 乃木希典 Nogi Maresuke, and 児玉源太郎 Kodama Gentaro.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eUpper right seal '85 years old Nantenbo' 八十五翁 南天棒\u003cbr\u003ewith signature '85 years old Nantenbo' 八十五翁 南天棒 and seal 'Hakkeikutsu' 白崖窟 'Toshu' 鄧州\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhole dimensions: 27.2\" W x 45.6\" H \/ 69.3cm x 115.9cm\u003cbr\u003eInside dimensions: 23.7\" W x 13\" H \/ 60.4cm x 33.2cm\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eMaterial: Paper\u003cbr\u003eTechnique: Handpainted\u003cbr\u003eRoller ends: Wood (DAMAGE)\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eWeight: 290g\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eCondition\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAntique items have originally crease, stain, damage, and more.
