Obscure question: Macrobiotic diet proponent and the 'illusion of self'

Factual Questions
1

Something I heard several years ago by someone who was on a macrobiotic diet. He mentioned a Japanese author/proponent/guru of the macrobiotic diet, and one of his ideas was “the illusion of self.” Wish I could remember more, but that’s about it.

Eh. . . the GQ, obviously: Who was this cat? [and/or] What was the quote?

It was almost certainly either George Ohsawa or Michio Kushi. Not familiar with that particular quote, though.

Thanks. Appears to be Kushi. I see a number of references that are close to what I recall.
