Ikkyu,[66] một thiền sư danh tiếng vào thời đại Ashikaga,[67] là con trai của hoàng đế.[68] Từ khi ngài còn bé, mẹ ngài đã rời khỏi hoàng cung và đến học thiền ở một ngôi chùa. Nhờ đó, hoàng tử Ikkyu cũng trở thành một thiền sinh. Khi mẹ ngài qua đời, bà để lại cho ngài một lá thư như sau:

Gửi con Ikkyu,

Mẹ đã hoàn tất công việc trong đời này và giờ đây sẽ trở về với cõi Thường hằng. Mẹ muốn con trở thành một thiền sinh giỏi và nhận rõ được tánh Phật của mình. Rồi con sẽ biết được liệu mẹ có sa vào địa ngục, hoặc có thường ở bên con hay không.

Chừng nào con nhận ra được rằng đức Phật và người kế tục của ngài là Bồ-đề Đạt-ma đều là những người phục dịch cho riêng con, thì con có thể từ bỏ việc nghiên tầm học hỏi và nỗ lực độ sinh. Đức Phật đã giáo hóa trong 49 năm và trong suốt thời gian đó ngài nhận ra rằng không cần thiết phải nói một lời nào! Con cần phải hiểu nguyên do của điều đó. Nhưng nếu con không hiểu được mà vẫn muốn hiểu, hãy tránh những suy nghĩ vô ích.

Mẹ của con,

Không sinh, không diệt.

Ngày đầu tháng chín

Tái bút.
Giáo pháp của đức Phật chủ yếu nhắm đến việc giúp cho mọi người giác ngộ. Nếu con phụ thuộc vào bất cứ phương tiện nào trong giáo pháp thì sẽ chẳng khác gì loài côn trùng mê muội. Có đến tám vạn quyển kinh điển Phật giáo,[69] và nếu như con có đọc qua hết tất cả mà vẫn không thấy được tự tánh của chính mình thì ngay cả lá thư này con cũng sẽ không hiểu nổi. Đây là ý nguyện và di thư của mẹ.

Viết sau khi dịch

Cha ngài là một hoàng đế nhưng đã không để lại được gì cho ngài. Có lần ông

đã tỏ ý chọn ngài làm người kế vị nhưng ý định đó không được ngài chấp nhận. Ngược lại, mẹ ngài đã chọn con đường để lại cho ngài một kho tàng vô giá, gói gọn trong bức thư này. Ngài đã dành trọn cuộc đời để thực hiện di thư của mẹ, và sau khi chứng ngộ vào năm 1420 nhân khi nghe tiếng quạ kêu, ngài tiếp tục quãng đời còn lại đi khắp đó đây để truyền dạy tông chỉ thiền Lâm Tế. Người dân Nhật luôn ghi nhớ hình ảnh của ngài như một vị thiền sư luôn xuất hiện trong chiếc áo rách tả tơi và đôi giày cỏ, nhưng để lại cho hậu thế vô số những ảnh hưởng tích cực còn thấy được trong các môn nghệ thuật mang sắc thái văn hóa thiền như thư pháp, hội họa, thi ca, trà đạo, cắm hoa, kịch Noh, vườn cảnh...
