Taoism in Japan information


Seitenkyū, a Taoist temple in Sakado, Saitama.

Taoism is believed to be the inspiration for some spiritual concepts in Japanese culture.[citation needed] Taoism's influence can be seen throughout the culture but to a lesser extent than Confucianism.

Taoism in the form it takes in Japan can be easily seen as superstitious or astrological and the concept of demons and spirits seem to have their roots in a Taoist influence such as Onmyōdō and Shugendō. The widely practiced ritual of setsubun (節分) where chanters repeat "Demons out! Luck in!" has its base in Taoism and also touches on a relation to uchi-soto. There is a culture of consultation where ogamiyasan are called upon to provide their Taoism based insight to bear upon events such as house-buildings. Taoism in Japan has a calendar whereby one can determine the best day to perform various functions.[1]

Taoist fulu charms became ofuda in Shinto.[citation needed]
