Cosmic Sage attempts to weave together Imaoka Shin'ichirM's life story and his message. It will reveal the spiritual pilgrimage of a Bodhisattva-Kami-Christian-Unitarian-sage, the Emerson of Japan.

Each segment of his life was "like a school, a place of learning with its time for graduation," as Imaoka-sensei would say.
