Akira Yuyama
Akira Yuyama earned his M.A. in 1961 from Tokyo University. He has studied Indology at the universities of Osaka, Tokyo, and Leiden, specialising in Buddhist Sanskrit philology. He was a Lecturer in South Asian and Buddhist Studies in the Faculty of Asian Studies, Australian National University. He has published a study of the Ratnaguṇasaṃcayagāthā, Systematische Übersicht über die buddhistische Sanskrit-Literatur (Erster Teil: Vinaya-Texte), Bibliography of Sanskrit Texts of the Saddharmapuṇḍarīkasūtra, and an English translation, authored jointly with Dr Tsugunari Kubo, of Kumārajīva’s Chinese rendition of the same text. According to Paul Harrison, "Professor Yuyama’s contributions to our field were prodigious, and he will long be remembered for his unparalleled command of the Buddhist tradition, his astonishing bibliographical knowledge, the wide range of his interests, his openness and his vision."
