Shushi-gaku
Shushi-gaku. Japanese term for the orthodox neo-Confucian teachings of Chu Hsi (1130–1200) and his followers. The major advocates of Shushi-gaku in Japan were Hayashi Razan (1583–1657), who served the shōgun and established a school staffed throughout the Tokugawa (1600–1868) period by his descendants, and Yamazaki Ansai (1618–82), who stressed the more religious aspects of neo-Confucianism.
