Takuan Seiyo was born in Communist Eastern Europe and socialized there and then in Switzerland, France and elsewhere. He emigrated to the U.S. in the mid-60s, received an Ivy League education while doing unskilled gardening for the rich (with no bilious feelings) and then climbed: slowly but honestly.
