Autorenporträt

Sumitaku Kenshin (¿¿¿¿, 1961-1987) was born Sumitaku Harumi (¿¿¿¿) on March 21, 1961, in Okayama City, Okayama Prefecture. Initially intending to become a chef, April 1976, Harumi entered Shimoda Gakuen Culinary School, from which he graduated in 1978. Around this time he began to read poetry, religion, and philosophy, and in September 1982, initiated his studies in Buddhism via a correspondence course through the Central Buddhism Academy (¿¿¿¿¿¿). One year later, in July 1983, he became a priest of the Pure Land sect of Jodo Shinshu Hongwanji at the Nishi-Honganji (¿¿¿¿) temple in Kyoto, where he was given the Buddhist name Saku Kenshin (roughly translated: "blossoming devotion").
