Dear Friends,

My beloved husband, Yasuhiko Genku Kimura, a brilliant philosopher, an independent scholar, an author, a former ordained Zen Buddhist priest, a consultant and an advisor to leaders in business, science, and culture, a spiritual teacher, a truly remarkable human being, peacefully passed away on November 11th, 2025, at the age of 70.

Words can not convey the depth of my sorrow. Yet, within my heart abides an immense well of love and gratitude for his presence in my life over the past 20 years. His luminous spirit, profound wisdom, and tireless devotion to truth have touched countless lives across the world. Yasuhiko's contributions to humanity will forever be remembered, and his enlightened soul will continue to illuminate our paths from beyond this world.

To all his friends who would like to help, and to those who have asked how they can help, you can do so through the link on this page to assist with Yasuhiko's final arrangements, expenses, and medical bills.

From the depths of my heart, I thank you all for your care, compassion, and love.

Your presence and support are a great comfort during this sacred time of transition.

With profound love and appreciation,

Mira Joy Vivant
