Tanaka Chigaku



Tanaka Chigaku (田中智學, Tanaka Chigaku) (1861 - 1939) was a Japanese Buddhist scholar and preacher of the Nichiren sect, orator, writer and nationalist propagandist in the Meiji, Taisho and early Showa periods. He is considered to be the father of Nichirenism, the fiercely nationalistic blend of Nichiren Buddhism and State Shinto espoused by such figures as Inoue Nissho, Ishiwara Kanji and Kita Ikki.
