This recent event happens over 30 years after the death of Osensei and now I too am very curious to know more about it and what is behind it.
KAMI : I'm glad we both are curious. Stanley Pranin, John Stevens and Peter Goldsbury have delved in O-Sensei's life and the many things that have happened after his death.
About O-Sensei's remains new shrinement, I can tell you, according to what I know, that it was done by order of the Reverend Yukitaka Yamamoto at Tsubaki Grand Shrine to honour the memory of O-Sensei. No hidden meaning or "someone behind it". And it was given just a small note in that page I presented.
As you yourself has stated, we're both curious to now more about that.
So, if someone may help us...
