Rengetsu’s works have circulated widely and been exhibited through the years. Stories of her swirl through the oral tradition of Kyoto and legend has it that at one time every family in Kyoto had a piece of her artwork.

Modern masters and practitioners of tea ceremony continue to use her utensils and scrolls. And recently, her poetry and artwork have reached the international stage. Museums in Australia and the United States have hosted exhibitions of her work and more are planned in Europe, Latin America and Africa.
