Biography

Sakaino was a priest in the Ōtani sect 大谷派 of the Jōdō Shinshu 真宗 Japanese Buddhist tradition. As a child he read Inoue Enryō 井上圓了 (1858-1919) which sparked an interest in Buddhism, and later in 1894 he was involved with the periodical Bukkyō Shirin 佛教史林 (Histories of Buddhism) published by Murakami Senshō 村上專精 (1851-1929).[1] After studying at Tetsugakukan University 哲学館大學 (present-day Tōyō University 東洋大學) where he majored in Buddhist history, Sakaino lectured at Tetsugakukan and Sōtōshū University 曹洞宗大學 (present-day Komazawa University 駒澤大學).

In 1900 he founded the periodical Shimbukkyō 新佛教 (New Buddhism), which was used as a platform for the Shin Bukkyō dōshikai 新佛教同志會 (New Buddhist Association) of which he was a member. Other members included Watanabe Kaikyoku 渡辺海旭 (1872-1933) who helped publish the Taishō canon 大正新修大藏經, and Takashima Beihō 高嶋米峰 (1875-1949), a scholar of Buddhism.
