Copyvio? edit
I notice that some of the material on this page also appears here: [www.geocities.com/Athens/Oracle/3545/ikkyu.html]. However, looking arond on that page, I don't see any copyright tags, so maybe it's not a problem. Maybe they got that passage from us.
I also have to wonder if we have another source for the claims we make about Ikkyu. Given that he's become a folk hero, it's possible that there are tall tales and such about him. - Nat Krause 09:52, 11 Dec 2004 (UTC)
Iconoclastic vs. iconic edit
05/23/07 I'm not sure if the term "iconoclastic" was meant in the introductory sentence. I think whoever wrote this intended "iconic." The word iconoclastic means "destruction of icons." 05/27/07. I have made the change to "iconic."
- I didn't write it but actually 'iconoclastic' has a more general sense in everday English of someone who challenges traditional teachings and institutions through their actions.--Nio-guardian (talk) 13:25, 20 February 2009 (UTC)
Religious career edit
The reference to Raul Salcedo's web page makes no sense in this place. Maybe can be put on "external links" User:chomoi == —Preceding undated comment added 14:19, 13 September 2009 (UTC).
Tom Robbins is not a comic author edit
"Comic author Tom Robbins identifies Ikkyu as his "idol"[3][4]." Tom Robbins is not a comic author, afaik he has not even published any comic. Instead quite some books, but even without any illustrations. I guess we have a similar "misunderstanding" here as the "iconic" vs. "iconoclastic" issue above. Some people call Mr Robbins' work as "seriocomic", but which does not have anything to do with comics. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 85.180.79.190 (talk) 09:51, 1 August 2011 (UTC)
Ken'o edit
Could you provide the source for this: "Ken'o was sporadic in his teaching style and was a strong believer in the supremacy of zazen."?
I read Hisashi Sakaguchi manga about ikkyu and it describes ken'o as strong opponent of zazen practice.
Unfortunately i have no access to other more reliable sources, but the manga looks quite faithful to ikkyu biography. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 109.53.68.182 (talk) 01:00, 22 June 2014 (UTC)
Crazy Cloud edit
- Ikkyū (一休宗純 Ikkyū Sōjun, 1394–1481) (self-named: "Crazy Cloud") ...
I'm scratching my head. No part of 一休宗純 appears to correspond to any part of "Crazy Cloud". —Tamfang (talk) 06:49, 23 August 2014 (UTC)
- Agreed. It's been removed, pending citation. - Boneyard90 (talk) 18:26, 14 June 2015 (UTC)
