Kobun Chino Otogawa’s ex-wife spoke out. Kobun was the monk whom Steve Jobs revered as his mentor and who infused Apple’s philosophy with flashes of Zen insight. Yet, adhering to the principle that “there is no permanent abode on the path of Zen,” he voluntarily chose to descend into hell. Was he a venerable monk? Or a monk who broke his vows? And then there was his mysterious death—. A compelling work of nonfiction that delves into the mystery of his death through the testimonies of countless people involved in Europe, the United States, and Japan.
