Centuries later, Emperor Meiji conferred the posthumous name Muso Daishi (無相大師) to Kanzan. Kanzan Egen was born in Shinano Province on January 7, 1277. After Shūhō Myōchō confirmed Kanzan Egen"s enlightenment, Kanzan went to Mino Province and dwelt in the Ibuki Mountains for intensive training.
During this time, Emperor Hanazono recalled Kanzan to the capitol to help found a new temple which became Myōshin-ji Temple.
