I came across a piece of calligraphy by Ōbaku Dokuryū (Duli Xingyi 獨立性易, 1596 - 1672) at Philadelphia Museum of Art. Duli became Yinyuan's 隱元 disciple but never received his dharma transmission. The collection of his works has been published in Taiwan. The museum gives the following cataloging information.

Öbaku Dokuryü was a noted calligrapher and poet in his native China before he emigrated to Japan in 1653 to join the Öbaku Zen temple Mampuki-ji, near Kyoto, Japan. His elegant and flowing calligraphy style strongly influenced his Japanese literati contemporaries.
