# Keisei

> Keisei (1189-1268) was a Japanese Buddhist priest of the Tendai sect. He was a son of the regent Kujō Yoshitsune of the Fujiwara clan. His spine was permanently injured in infancy when he was dropped by his wet nurse, which probably influenced his decision to become a priest. He studied under the monk Myōe and then established a hermitage west of Kyōto. In 1217, he travelled to China, where he stayed about a year before returning to Japan. In China, he commissioned a nanban to write an inscription in Persian for Myōe.
