Dude.

I think this will be the last philosopher 34 I make for a while. I just REALLY wanted to get this last one off of my chest, because it's something I've thought about for a while, lol. Genbō was a really interesting dude. He was a contemporary of Bodisauna, and he received a murasakikesa (purple Buddhist stole) from the Tang Emperor of China himself, Xuanzong. This was a big deal. He held a lot of power in Japan for a time, but he was apparently sexually immoral, which got him in a lot of trouble, and ended with his exile to Korea, I think.
