| Abstrakt: | Despite the Tokugawa-era legal framework supporting foreign exclusion, the work and career of Zen Buddhist monk Mujaku show a lively interaction with Chinese and Korean Zen scholars. Mujaku's work also shows that Buddhism was not moribund in the Tokugawa period, as is often argued; Buddhist scholarship remained important in the period. Through his extensive writings, Mujaku established the foundation for the emergence of Zen studies that became prominent at the end of the 19th century. |
