I had a request from @LeafyHistory to help translate this text for their upcoming discussion group on the wolf in Japan. The 'dog Shogun' Tsunayoshi was something of an animal lover, and his Buddhist tendencies led to some extensive animal rights laws - even for wild animals!

NEW Deep in Japan podcast "KUKAI THE UNIVERSAL with Professor Steve McCarty" on the life and times of Japan's great saint Kūkai, Esoteric Buddhism, and Zen. I discuss the book in terms of East Asian history, language education, and translation issues including voice. My philosophy is expressed as well, so comments would be much appreciated.

Have you heard of #PechaKucha #presentation meetings? Wikipedia: "a #storytelling format in which a presenter shows 20 slides for 20 seconds of commentary each," from the #Japanese word for chatter. Notice also the #narrative #genre of the following book:

NEW PechaKucha Presentation: A Passion for Japan: A Collection of Personal Narratives (a slide and brief description for each of the 30 chapters, by the editor) at https://www.pechakucha.com/presentations/a-passion-for-japan-a-collection-of-personal-narratives

Search "A Passion for Japan" to order the #book on Amazon.

My chapter "Discovering Japanese Fusion of #Religions on the #Pilgrimage Island of #Shikoku" is free at research repositories https://www.academia.edu/82383623 or https://www.researchgate.net/publication/361566172

It is a #research #memoir but it also tells the #story of my life in relation to #Japan. These photos in the slide are from when I was a young researcher.

I reconstructed the lost chord of a #mandala of mountains, a #syncretism of many #AsianReligions in the classical age around a thousand years ago.
