Eshinni & Kakushinni Day Service

Rev. Kumika Soga & Rev. Dr. Bert Sumikawa

Eshinni & Kakushinni Day Service for Sunday, April 17, 2022 with a Dharma Talk by Rev. Kumika Soga at Windward Buddhist Temple, a Shin Buddhist Temple in Kailua, Hawaii.

Each year, a special service is held in honor of Eshinni, the wife of Jodo Shinshu founder, Shinran Shonin, and their youngest daughter, Kakushinni. We honor Eshinni and her dedication to Shinran. We rejoice in the memory of Shinran’s daughter Kakushinni because had it not been for her, his teaching might not be available for us.
