良寬

書法家、僧人 書法卷

俗姓山本,幼名榮藏。法名良寬,字曲,號大愚。生於一七五八年,一說生於一七五七年,卒於一八三一年。日本江戶時代(1615~1868)後期曹洞宗禪僧、和歌詩人及書法家。越後國(今新潟)出雲崎人。年少時出家,師事備中(今岡山)圓通寺國仙和尚,依止其受戒,後行腳諸國。寬政八年(1796)返鄉後,隱居國上山(今新潟燕市)之五合庵,住草庵,托鉢修行,過鄉野的生活,與農民、兒童為友,深受大眾尊敬。一生清貧,自在灑脫,將其枯淡的心境表現於和歌、詩書中。
 其書法臨習中國及平安時代(794~1185)中期的筆法,因此在御家流派盛行的當時,自成一格。書風不拘於楷式亦不藏拙,用筆清淡,自然中流露其性格及修為。著作有漢詩《草堂集》、和歌《布留散東》等,現僅遺存一小部分。
 晚年時由弟子貞心法師將其和歌編集成《蓮露》流傳於世,其餘書跡大多為抄寫禪家祖師語錄或抄經之作。另有楷書《心經》、草書寒山拾得畫贊,均藏新潟良寬之里美術館;草書七言絕句,藏東京國立博物館。
