Shingaku


Shingaku or Sekimon-shingaku is a Japanese religious movement, founded by Ishida Baigan and further developed by Teshima Toan, which was especially influential during the Tokugawa period.
Shingaku has been characterized as coming from a Neo-Confucian tradition, integrating principles from Zen Buddhism and Shinto. It has been speculated, Shingaku was one of the cultural foundations for Japan's industrialization.
