Meiran was a Japanese monk and a Bō master who lived during the late Sengoku period.
Biography[edit | edit source]
In 1582, Meiran was announced to be holding a seminar on how to wield the bō in Izumi Settsu. While traveling, a group of bandits started to chase and attack him and his entourage. Not wanting to spill any blood, Meiran led the bandits away and eventually lost them. Back on his way to Makinoodera Temple, he was found by the Kakushiba ikki member and Igan shinobi Fujibayashi Naoe, who sought to help him.[1]
However, Meiran just continued on his path while Naoe reluctantly escorted him. Passing by the bandit camp of Teratsutsuki Den, they fought off more bandits before continuing on their trail. Soon enough, they spotted a cliff, where Naoe drew a sumi-e and admitted to be relaxed after taking in the scenery. Afterwards, Meiran told Naoe to go on ahead while he took his time.[1]
At the temple, Meiran arrived and saw a group of younger monks and Naoe, along with Junjiro, waiting for him. There, he began to explain his own discipline of the bō before letting his students demonstrate what they learned. When Naoe came and challenged him, they began to duel with each other. However, bandits soon attacked the temple, leading Naoe, Meiran, and the other monks to fight back the outlaws.[2]
When they defeated all the waves of bandits, including their leader, Meiran stood over their bodies as Naoe expressed admiration for his skills. However, Meiran felt no joy and stated that he wanted to avoid any deaths, which was why he had run from the bandits in the first place. When Junjiro came and enthusiastically offered to help, Meiran advised him to think before he acted. As Naoe and Junjiro left the monk alone, Meiran began to pray for his own soul, feeling ashamed at his actions.[2]
