Description: An overview of the Neo-Confucian doctrines adopted under Japan's Tokugawa Shogunate (1603-1867).
CONFUCIANISM IN THE EDO (TOKUGAWA) PERIOD In Japan, the official guiding philosophy of the Tokugawa period (1603-1867) was Neo-Confucianism. This philosophy profoundly influenced the thought and behaviour of the educated class. The tradition, introduced into Japan from China by Zen Buddhists in the medieval period, provided a heavenly sanction for the existing social order. In the Neo-Confucian view, harmony was maintained by a reciprocal relationship of justice between a superior, who was urged to be benevolent, and a subordinate, who was urged to be obedient and to observe propriety.
