From Wikipedia:

Nanjō Bunyū (Nanjio Bunyiu, Nanjo Bunyu, 南条文雄 -- Nam Điều Văn Hùng) (July 1, 1849 - November 9, 1927) was one of the most important modern Japanese scholars of Buddhism. Nanjo was born to the abbot of Seiunji Temple (誓運寺 – Thệ Vận Tự), part of the Shinshu Ōtani sect (真宗大谷派 – Chân Tông Đại Cốc Phái) of the Higashi Honganji (東本願寺 – Đông Bản Nguyện Tự) branch of Jodo Shinshu (淨土真宗 – Tịnh Độ Chân Tông).

Nanjō studied Classical Chinese texts and Buddhist doctrine in his youth before being sent to Europe in 1876 to study Sanskrit and Indian philosophy from European scholars, including Max Müller, under whom Bunyu studied in England. While there he met the Chinese Buddhist Yang Wenhui (楊文會 – Dương Văn Hội), whom he helped to acquire Japanese versions of Buddhist texts that had been lost in China to be reprinted at Yang's printing house in Nanjing (南京 – Nam Kinh). He returned to Japan in 1884 and served as a professor or head of a number of Buddhist seminaries and universities until his death.
