Tenpū Nakamura, a Showa-era philosopher who influenced many Japanese leaders. Shohei Ohtani, before his debut in the majors, is said to have read his books and built a foundation for his soul. Now, his “philosophy of success” has been compiled into a book of “teachings on happiness” that can be useful to everyone! “Tenpū Nakamura: Teachings on Becoming the ‘Main Character’ of Your Life” will be released by Shufu to Seikatsusha on October 10th. Tenpu’s teachings, which solve everyday problems such as purpose in life, money, health, and relationships, are presented in simple language and illustrations. ● Is Nakamura Tempu…? A thinker born in the Meiji era and active through the Showa era. At the age of 30, he contracted pulmonary tuberculosis, which was considered incurable at the time, and prepared himself for death. Through a fateful encounter with a yoga saint and training in the Himalayas, he realized the importance of “positively activating the mind” and overcame his illness. After returning to Japan, he systematized his philosophy, influencing a wide range of people, from business leaders and cultural figures to athletes. He remains a “spiritual mentor” to many people today.

The Tenpū boom, reignited by Ohtani, is now spreading among women as well, drawing attention as a way of life and a guide to the heart. This book transforms Tenpu’s somewhat
difficult-to-understand words into themes that female readers can easily relate to, explaining them with easy-to-understand text and illustrations. Feeling too busy to have time for yourself, feeling lonely, having no savings and worrying about retirement—Tenpu’s way of thinking will provide concrete answers to such worries.

Dropped out of Yokohama National University. Graduated from the Japan Institute of the Moving Image. Spent most of his twenties as a facility security guard. After working for several publishing companies, he went independent as a writer and editor. He encountered Tenpū Nakamura’s philosophy while editing “Encouragement in the Afterlife,” a book by Shuhei Goda, the “last disciple” of Tenpū Nakamura. At first, he was unable to grasp its essence, but as he gained more life experience, he became more fascinated. In order to introduce the difficult Tenpu philosophy in an easy-to-understand way, he compiled together with Goda the book “The Definitive Book: Mastering Nakamura Tenpu’s Teachings in 3 Hours Through Manga” (Asuka Publishing), which became a bestseller.
