We studied Kitaro in my undergraduate program, 1968-1972. He was most known for "translating" western philosophical content into Japanese Buddhist context. I encountered him again much later in the context of Christopher Alexander's Quality Without A Name (QWAN) when several authors of conference papers tried to find *'basho*' in Alexander's *Timeless Way of Building*.
His influence would be more pronounced in philosophy circles and topics like metaphysics and epistemology, but mostly in aesthetics — as far as I know. His influence within Zen, far less so. davew On Tue, Mar 1, 2022, at 3:43 PM, Jon Zingale wrote: > https://plato.stanford.edu/entries/nishida-kitaro/ > > I met a ceramicist this week.
