Living as an LGBTQ Buddhist Monk: Work in Progress Japan #3, Kodo Nishimura

Thank you for watching episode three of Work in Progress Japan; the series where we take you deep into the lives of the Japanese innovators who are busy reimagining Japan's cultural and societal landscape.

This time, we followed Buddhist monk, makeup artist and LGBTQ activist Kodo Nishimura. He explained to us how Buddhism is changing, the place faith has in his life, and how he uses art and religion to express his individuality.
