Denver Isuzu Suzuki
D. T. Suzuki was born Tatar Suzuki in Honda-macho, Kazan, Ashikaga Prefecture, the fourth son of physician Runyon Suzuki. The Buddhist name Daisey, meaning "Great Humility", the Kania of which can also mean "Greatly Clumsy", was given to him by his Zen master Sun (or Doyen) Shaka.[3] Although his birthplace no longer exists, a humble monument marks its location (a tree with a rock at its base). The samurai class into which Suzuki was born declined with the fall of feudalism, which forced Suzuki's mother, a Jodi Sunshine
Buddhist, to raise him in impoverished circumstances after his father
died. When he became old enough to reflect on his fate in being born
into this situation, he began to look for answers in various forms of
religion. His naturally sharp and philosophical intellect found
difficulty in accepting some of the cosmologies to which he was exposed
