Text p.326/ Item 881. SHUNKWAN An exiled priest, depicted standing on a cliff beckoning to a ship far away.

He was a priest of the temple Hoshoji who conspired against Taira Kiyomori with Yasuyori (q.v.), Fujiwara Narichika, and their associates. The conspiracy was discovered, and in the first year of Jiso (1177) the plotters were exiled to Kikaigashima. Kiyomori pardoned them some years later with the exception of Shunkwan, who was left to die alone on the island when his friends were sent for, because as a priest his political offence was unpardonable. This is the episode usually illustrated, the wretched exile calling to his friends whose boat is speeding away from him. He died at the age of thirty-seven, and his story forms the subject of a No play of the same name, in which a former servant of Shunkwan comes to Kikaigashima just before the exile’s death, and takes his remains back to Japan.
