| Research Abstract |
The study of Buddhist groups and associations at their zenith in the late 1870's and 80's has been virtually overlooked as a topic within Meiji buddhist history. Tist fact is largery a result of the overshadowing oresence of more colorful Topics, such as the study of the shinbutsu bunri and haibu-tsu kishaku in the history of the Meiji Restoration, and by researches into the formationof modern buddhism around the turn of the century. In point of fact, however, when reassessing the probulem of buddhist groups within overall flow of Meiji Buddhist history, from the resurgence of Buddhism following the period of haibutsu kisyaku to the formation of modaen Buddhism and new Buddist move-ments, it becomes apparent that the place occupiedby, and historical significance of, the Buddhist association movemennt is very great indeed. This paper is a tentative consideration of the Wakeikai, a Buddhist association which developed from the stanndpoint of non-sectaring Buddhism, together with the proselytization thought of Ouchi Seiran, who played a leading role in the association movement.
