Artist Profile

  • Kanho Yakushiji

    Born in 1979, Kanho Yakushiji is a Zen Buddhist monk and musician, serving as the deputy chief priest of Kaizenji Temple, a Rinzai Zen temple affiliated with the Myoshinji school. In addition to his role as a monk, he has been actively creating music since 2017, producing the Heart Sutra Music series, which combines traditional chanting of Buddhist sutras such as the Heart Sutra with modern musical arrangements. He has released numerous albums to date. Drawing from Buddhist teachings, he also composes original songs centered on the theme of what we should cherish in life. His YouTube channel currently has approximately 750,000 subscribers, and his Heart Sutra Music-related videos have been viewed over 100 million times worldwide. In 2018, his work began gaining attention throughout Asia via social media, leading to back-to-back Asia tours in 2018 and 2019 through China, Hong Kong, and Taiwan, drawing over 10,000 attendees within two years. After the pandemic, he resumed his international performances in 2022, starting with a Southeast Asia tour. In 2023, he launched his first world tour, followed by an Asia tour in 2024, performing in China, Taiwan, Hong Kong, Malaysia, Singapore, Indonesia, Thailand, and Australia, receiving enthusiastic responses in every country. In 2025, his international activity continues with a solo concert in Macau (June) and a performance at a major music festival in Taipei (September), further expanding his global presence. With the hope that this music can help reset the heart, he continues to share the prayers of Buddhism through sound, from Japan to Asia and to the world, for all who live in the present moment.
