Profile

I grew up in Nara and entered training at Koyasan in Shingon sect at the age of 15. I am the 3rd generation priest from my grandfather's. At the age of 25, I became the priest at the Chorakuji Temple and over half a century has passed. I have been fond of Shimoda to the present. From the age of 33, I also accepted a role of the Social Welfare Committee and serve as an official of the National Council for Social Welfare.

Comment

Religion and welfare are the same in that we serve to remove anxiety and make safe and enjoyable society. The mission of the chief priest is to continue the roll and relay it to the coming generations. I always want to serve my duty with incense and candle in my temple.
