Jion (1351–1409 (his birth and death dates are disputed)) was a Zen Buddhism monk and swordsman during the Nanboku-chō period (14th century) of Japan. His full name was Nenami Okuyama Jion (he was born Sōma Shiro Yoshimoto, but adopted the Buddhist name Jion later in life). He was the son of Tadashige, a veteran retainer of Yoshisada Nitta who was killed when he was five years old. It is said that he practiced sword fighting in order to avenge his father, which he did later on in his career which was spent mostly in poverty.
