	Ryokan - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Ryokan (良寛: Ryōkan) was a Zen Buddhist monk who lived in Niigata Japan 1758-1831.
		He soon left the monastery where practice was frequently quite lax, and lived as a hermit until he was very old and had to move into the house of one of his supporters.
		Ryokan was famous for his poetry and calligraphy.

	Ryokan inn - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		A prototypical ryokan might feature a relatively large entrance hall, with couches and chairs where guests can sit and talk; modernized ryokan would probably have a television in the hall as well.
		A room in a ryokan is constructed using traditional Japanese materials; flooring is tatami, and doors are sliding rice-paper (washi) doors.
		Even if a ryokan uses Western style doors for security, they usually open into a small entranceway where guests can take off their shoes before stepping onto the tatami floor, which would be separated by a sliding door.

		The hermit hut is for Ryokan a microcosm of life and the universe: "last year a foolish monk, this year no different." It is the setting for the cycle of being which he so sensitively portrays in his poetry.
