This event commemorates the 1250th anniversary of the birth of Kobo Daishi (Kukai), a revered Japanese Buddhist monk who founded the Shingon sect of Buddhism. Kobo Daishi is a significant figure in Japanese history, known for bringing back wisdom and cultural practices from the Tang Dynasty to Japan. His teachings and the spiritual practices he established, such as the famous 88-temple pilgrimage in Shikoku, continue to influence Japanese society to this day.
To honor this milestone, a special celebration concert was held featuring performances by Kitaro and Hiroki Okano. The concert took place at Zentsuji, the birthplace of Kobo Daishi, located on the island of Shikoku.
A notable aspect of the celebration was a special calligraphy dedication by Fuyo Kobayashi, a calligrapher who contributed to the event by offering a unique and spiritually significant piece of calligraphy.The event was not only a musical tribute but also a cultural and spiritual expression of gratitude toward Kobo Daishi for his enduring legacy. The concert captures the essence of the celebration and the deep reverence felt for Daishi's contributions to Japanese culture and spirituality.
