This may or may not come to be covered in a FAQ, but can anyone help me find
good references on the history of the Komuso movement? I'm not looking for
just the usual lineage charts, but descriptions of the day-to-day in the
schools, actual stories of the day-to-day lives of the Komuso monks (if
known?) Detailed histories if this information is available... thanks!
