The Bawdy Cloister

When I launched this site back in July, I tipped my hat to the Buddhist monk Ikkyu. He is of course the Father of Rowdy Theology. Best known for his love poetry, Ikkyu received much of his inspiration at brothels. Let's just say he got a lot of inspiration.

BUT DID YOU KNOW...that in Japan there's a children's animated series based on Ikkyu? Ikkyu-san aired during the late 70s and early 80s, and still runs today in syndication. Ikkyu truly is a role model for the ages.
