Source Description
Kanzan (Ch. Hanshan [Hanshan]) and Jittoku (Ch. Shide [Shih Te]) are a pair of Zen eccentrics who lived at a monastery on Mt. Tendai in China during the Tang [T'ang] period (618-907). They spoke to each other in a nonsense language that no one else understood. Kanzan is always shown holding a scroll, which he is explaining to Jittoku. Jittoku carries a broom because he worked cleaning the monastery kitchen. Kanzan stands in front with his scroll and Jittoku is behind holding a bucket. His broom lays on the ground.
