This collection of seventeen essays situates modern Shin Buddhist
thinker Kiyozawa Manshi (1863–1903) and his new form of
spirituality, Seishinshugi, in the broader context of Buddhism and
religious thought in modern Japan. The work highlights several
factors that led to the development of Kiyozawa’s ideas and
demonstrates the broad influence that he and his disciples had,
putting in relief both the events that led Kiyozawa to set forth
his unique formulation of a modern Shin Buddhist religiosity in
Seishinshugi and the ways in which those ideas became a force that
shaped a large part of Japan’s religious landscape well past the
middle of the twentieth century. The book is made up of historical
studies that explore the significance of Seishinshugi from a
variety of perspectives and chapters that attempt to introduce some
of the original ideas of Seishinshugi thinkers and other modern
Shin proponents such as Sasaki Gesshō (1875–1926) and Yasuda
Rijin (1900–1982). The inclusion of several translations of
recent Japanese scholarship on Kiyozawa and Seishinshugi provides a
snapshot of the state of the field for Kiyozawa studies today in
Japan. Several early chapters present issues that Kiyozawa
addressed in his formulations of Seishinshugi. His relationship
with Inoue Enryō (1858–1919) is discussed in depth, as is his
understanding of the Tannishō and new research indicating that
Seishinshugi might more closely represent the thought of
Kiyozawa’s disciples than his own. This portion ends with a
consideration of the reinvention of Kiyozawa’s historical image
by his followers after his death. Later chapters bring together
research into the specific ways in which Kiyozawa’s legacy shaped
the Japanese religious and philosophical environment in the last
century, including contributions on female spirituality as
expressed in the Seishinshugi movement and the influence of
Kiyozawa and Soga Ryōjin (1875–1971) on the Kyoto School and its
implications. Other essays highlight approaches to finding meaning
in Shin doctrines by Sasaki, Soga, and Yasuda, and how D. T.
Suzuki, an Ōtani University colleague, fits into the movement as a
whole.
