At just twenty-six, during the tumultuous era of the Great War in Europe, the visionary Kurata Hyakuzō crafted a thought-provoking play titled The Priest & His Disciples (Shukke to sono deshi). This powerful stage drama draws inspiration from the life and teachings of Shinran, a 13th-century Buddhist priest and the founder of the True Pure Land School of Buddhism (Jōdo Shinshū). Within its narrative, Shinran engages with the struggling family of Hino Saemon and his wife Okane, offering profound insights on navigating lifes challenges amidst chaos and adversity. While the dialogue reflects Shinrans wisdom, it is ultimately infused with Kuratas own iconoclastic philosophies, blending Eastern and Western thought to resonate with the complexities of early 20th-century Japan. - Summary by ExpatriateCopyright Culture and Heritage classics Drames et pièces de théâtre Philosophie Sciences sociales Spiritualité
