Kusuha Sainin was one of two sons of a man who came from [[Tenjiku]] (India?) and settled in the Osaka area in the late 14th century. Sainin served the temple [[Kofukuji|Kôfuku-ji]] in Nara in some capacity, and journeyed to Ming China in 1432 and 1453 on trade voyages. Some have suggested that he (or his father) was Muslim, from Malacca.
