Muqi or Muxi (Chinese: 牧谿; Japanese: Mokkei; 1210?–1269?), also known as Fachang (Chinese: 法常), was a Chinese Chan Buddhist monk and painter who lived in the 13th century, around the end of the Southern Song dynasty (1127–1279). Today, he is considered to be one of the greatest Chan painters in history. His ink paintings, such as the Daitokuji triptych and Six Persimmons are regarded as essential Chan paintings.[1] Muqi's style of painting has also profoundly impacted painters from later periods to follow, especially monk painters in Japan.[2]
According to Chinese secondary sources, Muqi's surname was thought to be Li.[3] "Muqi" was his art name, and "Fachang" was, in fact, his formal name in the monastery system.[4]
