Author Description

Excerpt from The Essence of Japanese Buddhism It is already seventeen years since the first church of our Mission was raised in this isl and, and in 1907 our Mission work here was co-operated under the name of Honpa Hong wanji Mission in Hawaii. It has now thirty four Churches - ten in Oahu, six each in Maui and Kauai and twelve in Hawaii - together with twenty-nine institutions of primary school grade and three of the intermediate grade under its superintendence. Such rapid progress of our mission work is mainly due to the fact that our countrymen here - most of them - came over to Hawaii from that part of the country where our faith held its firm ground during many hundred years.
