[edit] Snyder stuff
In 1963, Snyder met Nanao Sakaki, and through him, others who would call themselves "the Bum Academny" and eventually bring together The Tribe (Buzoku). [1]
Snyder met Masa Uehara in Osaka in 1966 through Hisao Kanaseki, who also worked on Ruth Fuller Sasaki's research team, and had been Uehara's English professor at Kobe University. In 1967, she was a graduate student in English at Ochanomizu University and was participating in Bum Academy activities.[2]
Snyder also pursued his interest in ShugendÅ in Japan; he was initiated as a Yamabushi in 1961, and subsequently brought this interest to his Bum Academy friends.[3]
