I am involved in the ink painting of Ilsan and the history of Zen Buddhism, and I thought it would be possible to make some suggestions based on the influence that Ilsan had on Japan in terms of the more three-dimensional image of Ilsan and the history of Japanese Zen Buddhism as a whole. The propose of this research is to create a chronology and a list of the ink paintings of Ilsan, and future tasks include the connection with the history of Japanese Zen Buddhism, the kind of people Ilsan was associated with, and how this is reflected in the ink works. I also hope to eventually be able to study the calligraphy of Ilsan's calligraphy.The following may be considered the most basic historical material for understanding the conduct of Ilsan Ilnyeong (1247-1317).As far as we know from research to date, there are more than 90 types of traditional Issan Ichinnei calligraphy. We designate them, create an easy-to-understand list of ink works that shows the period, age, collection, shape, legal quantity, quality, and source. Based on this list, we also include each ink work that does not have a chronology. We are currently working on incorporating the ink paintings that are currently available. This time, I would like to introduce Ilsan's calligraphy in chronological order.
