Excerpt from Light From the East Studies in Japanese Confucianism The present work is given to the public in the hope that it will throw light on some of the formative elements of Japanese civilization, and lead to a better understanding of Japanese character and life. When I first came to Japan, a Japanese asked me to explain what we of the West had which they had not. The necessity of being able to answer such questions led me to feel that if I were to be of any real service to Japan, I must become familiar with their thought and history. This led me to study in a rather strenuous way the religious history and thought of Japan. In this present work I have endeavoured to give an outline of the history of Japanese Confucianism. The Japanese are our neighbours. It is very important that neighbours should understand each other: that so far as possible suspicion and misunderstanding should be removed and points of contact established. It is very important that we should look at the Japanese from a broad human standpoint and endeavour to discover their real nature. The studies which have made this book possible have led me to feel that, in spite of their differences in custom, the Japanese are essentially the same as we are. They are interested in the same spirit of righteousness and truth; many of them have suffered and even died for their convictions. It is my hope that these studies, which were not primarily intended for publication, may lead others to the conviction that East and West are fundamentally one. The title "Light from the East" is given to this book because any intensive study of thought in Japan involves more or less knowledge of Korea, China and India. The schools of Confucianism, which originated in China in the Sung and Ming dynasties, assimilated much from Northern Buddhism which comes from India.

From the FOREWORD: BEFORE the introduction of Confucianism and Buddhism there was almost no philosophy in Japan, although the peculiar teaching of the Japanese spirit which was already in process of development cannot be entirely overlooked. What Confucianism taught was already in practice in Japan, but it was thenceforth authorized and corroborated by the precepts of the great Chinese sage. The influence of Confucianism which has been eagerly studied by the Japanese scholars for more than a thousand years since its first introduction is really immense and incalculable, especially in the sphere of moral culture. But before the Tokugawa age the influence of Buddhism was very great, spiritually far greater than that of Confucianism, producing several illustrious reformers and religious thinkers. From the beginning of the Tokugawa age, however, Confucianism took a more prominent position than Buddhism. Since the education of all the provinces at that time was based on Confucian principles, its teaching was more widely propagated than ever. Several eminent philosophers arose among the Confucian scholars who contributed a great deal to intellectual development as well as moral culture before the Reformation. For those foreigners who do not understand the gradual preparation made by Confucianism and Buddhism, the sudden uprise of Japan since the Restoration will appear to be but a miracle or at least an inexplicable wonder. But if they understand thoroughly well what Confucianism has taught, then the sudden uprise of Japan will be held no more as a miracle but as a natural and necessary transition. Since the Restoration Confucianism seems to be almost extinguished, but it is only apparently so. The teaching of the great Chinese sage is so widely diffused and deeply rooted in Japan that it must be considered to be part and parcel of Japanese culture itself. Besides that, we must not forget that the Japanese spirit began from earlier times to assimilate Confucianism to itself, that is to say, to Japanize it. As a consequence of that process Confucianism was, during the Tokugawa age, almost entirely Japanized, and in that way it was made far more vigorous and efficacious than in China and elsewhere. To understand well Confucianism of the Tokugawa age is, therefore, at the same time to understand partly Japanese culture itself. So I think that the publication of "Light from the East" which contains largely the Confucian philosophy of the Tokugawa age, written by Mr. R. C. Armstrong, who has devoted many years to the study of intellectual development in Japan, will serve for the promotion of the knowledge of Japanese culture, and disperse also, I hope, the doubt about the miraculous uprise of the Japanese nation. TETSUJIRO INOUYE, Professor of Philosophy in the Imperial University.

The Dao Companion to Japanese Confucian Philosophy will be part of the handbook series Dao Companion to Chinese Philosophy, published by Springer. This series is being edited by Professor Huang Yong, Professor of Philosophy at Kutztown University and Editor of Dao: A Journal of Comparative Philosophy. This volume includes original essays by scholars from the U.S., Europe, Japan, and China, discussing important philosophical writings by Japanese Confucian philosophers. The main focus, historically, will be the early-modern period (1600-1868), when much original Confucian philosophizing occurred, and Confucianism in modern Japan. The Dao Companion to Japanese Confucian Philosophy makes a significant contribution to the Dao handbook series, and equally to the field of Japanese philosophy. This new volume including original philosophical studies will be a major contribution to the study of Confucianism generally and Japanese philosophy in particular.

How has Confucius, quintessentially and symbolically Chinese, been received throughout Japanese history? The Worship of Confucius in Japan provides the first overview of the richly documented and colorful Japanese version of the East Asian ritual to venerate Confucius, known in Japan as the sekiten. The original Chinese political liturgy embodied assumptions about sociopolitical order different from those of Japan. Over more than thirteen centuries, Japanese in power expressed a persistently ambivalent response to the ritual’s challenges and often tended to interpret the ceremony in cultural rather than political terms. Like many rituals, the sekiten self-referentially reinterpreted earlier versions of itself. James McMullen adopts a diachronic and comparative perspective. Focusing on the relationship of the ritual to political authority in the premodern period, McMullen sheds fresh light on Sino–Japanese cultural relations and on the distinctive political, cultural, and social history of Confucianism in Japan. Successive sections of The Worship of Confucius in Japan trace the vicissitudes of the ceremony through two major cycles of adoption, modification, and decline, first in ancient and medieval Japan, then in the late feudal period culminating in its rejection at the Meiji Restoration. An epilogue sketches the history of the ceremony in the altered conditions of post-Restoration Japan and up to the present.
