Picture
​Okumura Roshi trained at Antaiji, in the Mikata district of Hyogo Prefecture, Japan.  It was founded in 1921 by Oka Sotan as monastery for scholars to study the Shobogenzo. At that time it was located in northern Kyoto, and many leading scholars studied there.During WWII, Antaiji was vacated until in 1949 Sawaki Kōdō and Uchiyama Kōshō, teacher and disciple on the Buddha Way, moved into Antaiji and made it a place for the pure and simple practice of sitting zazen.
