Career
Shuho was a chief priest of the Shofukuji Temple in Kyoto. Much respected by Shogun Yoshinori Ashikaga, he lived at the Tojiin Temple and moved to the Shokokuji Temple (1440). Yoshinori's son, Shogun Yoshimasa also respected him. When Kyoto was thrown into confusion as the Onin War broke out (1467) he retired to Kitayama to devote himself to writing. Although Emperor Gotsuchimikado wished to give him the high title of lcokushi, he declined.
