“Shinran: Jinsei no Mokuteki” is the third installment in a series of anime films focused on Buddhist themes. Studio DEEN released the first film in the series, “Naze Ikiru: Rennyo Shonin to Yoshizaki Enjo,” in 2016, based on a Buddhist text by Takamori. The 2019 anime film “TANNISHO” also drew inspiration from the text “Tanisho o Hiraku.”
Ichimannendo published Takamori’s book Tannisho o Hiraku in 2008, and later released an English edition titled Unlocking TANNISHO: Shinran’s Words on the Pure Land Path.
