Hongwanji Mission School
Hongwanji Mission School
Hongwanji Mission School, the first Buddhist school outside of Japan, was established in 1949 during the time of Bishop Kodo Fujitani. The school was built on land purchased from Mary Foster (of Foster Botanical Gardens) for $6,000. Mary Foster, who was from a Christian missionary family, became a devout Buddhist after traveling to India and finding a personal teacher. Mrs. Aiko Fujitani, wife of the bishop, was instrumental in the building of the school and was at the center of school activities as the executive secretary of the school board.
