Gratefully remembering
Kobun was re-adopted into the Otokawa lineage and he took that name. Consequently his first two children have the name 'Chino' and the second family has the name 'Otogawa'. In the 1990s Kobun returned to Japan and reconciled with his old master, Chino Roshi.
Kobun was a gentle and good-natured soul. ‘An open and flexible mind is the way’ he said …. and lived. Many people felt existentially touched in his presence, they recognized the Zen master in him.
