Kamakura period
Kamakura period. A period of Japanese history, running roughly from 1185 to 1392, during which several new schools of
Buddhism arose, including
zen,
Pure Land, and
Nichiren-derived sects. In response to sweeping social changes then taking place, such as the fall of the aristocracy and the rise of local landholding families, these new schools marked Buddhism's shift further away from the interests of the ruling classes and towards increased engagement with the masses.
