Gautama Buddha - Published by Shunjusha in 1975. The Formation of Primitive Buddhism - Published by Shunjusha in 1978. The Life Ethics of Primitive Buddhism - Published by Shunjusha in 1978.

Nakamura Hajime (1912 1999) was a prominent Japanese scholar of Indian philosophy, Buddhism, and comparative thought. Born in Matsue, Japan, he studied at the University of Tokyo and earned his doctorate with a focus on early Vedanta philosophy. He later became a professor at the same university and founded the Toho Gakuin (Eastern Institute), aiming to make Eastern philosophy more accessible to the general public through lectures and publications. Renowned for his prolific output, Nakamura wrote over 170 books and translated the entire Pali Tripitaka into Japanese, a landmark achievement in Buddhist studies. His major works, such as Ways of Thinking of Eastern Peoples, helped shape global understanding of Asian thought. He received numerous awards, including the Order of Culture and membership in the Japan Academy. His legacy lives on through his writings, translations, and the Nakamura Hajime Memorial Hall in his hometown. Each book is presented in a cardboard slipcase, which have become discolored with age. The books themselves, however, are in very good condition. Some age discoloration to text but all are nicely presented and soundly bound. Some of the books contain occasional notes and underlines from the previous owner. A heavy set, weighing 3.65kg, unpacked. Extra postage will be required. More photos on request. The 4 Shunjusha volumes are approximately 202mm high x 141mm wide in their slipcases, with the Higashi Hongan-ji volume being 224mm high x 164mm wide.
