One day master Keichu's assistant presented him with a
calling card from a guest which read, "Kitagaki, Govenor of Kyoto."
"I dont want to see him," yelled the master, so the assistant returned the card
to the distinguished visitor. The visitor realising his error, took a pencil and
scribbled out the words, "Govenor of Kyoto" and asked the assistant to represent his card
to the master who said, "Oh it's Kitagaki - show him in."
The master did not wish to see a person who had embodied an identity created by
mind, by value judgement. On removing this created, illusory label, the man became
just a man once again and as such was acceptable to the master.
