--A Handwritten, Well-Illustrated Treatise on Shingaku-- the religious movement that flourished in Japan in 1725-1875. The movement was begun by Ishida Baigan (1685-1744) and his successor Teshima Toan (1718-1786), but the religion spread broadly in the years following by a group of well-trained preachers travelling Japan.
