About Kaisan
Kaisan is a Japanese name of masculine gender. It originates from the Japanese word Kaisan (開山) which translates to "mountain opener" or "to open a mountain." This meaning carries deep significance within Buddhist and temple cultures, particularly in the context of Chan monasteries that are often built in mountainous regions. The choice of monastery's location is intricately tied to the name of the mountain upon which it stands; this mountain’s name serves as both the foundation of the monastery and its namesake leader, the founding abbot.
