The role of the retinoblastoma protein (pRb) in the nuclear localisation of BAG-1: Implications for colorectal tumour cell survival
This paper is intended to present one of the unknown accomplishments of
Tanzan Ishibashi (1884-1973), the 16th dean of Rissho University. Since
the discovery of the Ekai Kawaguchi collection at Rissho University in
2009, the author has studied and presented on the materials contained. Ekai
Kawaguchi (1866-1945) is well known as the first Japanese to set foot in
Nepal and Lhasa in the center of Tibet, bringing Buddhist scriptures and a
number of other materials back with him to Japan, which he himself translated.
Ekai Kawaguchi studied Buddhist scripture and laid the foundation
for modern Buddhist studies in Japan.
