Turkish, 1612–1674
Kuncan was a Chinese Buddhist monk and painter active during the Ming and Qing dynasties, born in Hunan and spending most of his life in Nanjing. He became a Chan Buddhist monk early in life and served as the abbot of a monastery on Niushou Shan. Influenced by Wang Meng, he was recognized as one of the Four Monk Masters of the early Qing Dynasty, alongside Zhu Da, Hong Ren, and Shitao. Few of Kuncan's works have survived.
