Risshū (Buddhism)

[1] The Ritsu school was founded in Japan by the blind Chinese priest Jianzhen, better known by his Japanese name Ganjin.

Ganjin traveled to Japan at the request of Japanese priests, and established the Tōshōdai-ji in Nara.

During the Kamakura period, the Ritsu sect was divided into schools at Tōshōdai-ji, Kaidan-in, Saidai-ji, and Sennyū-ji.

Today only Tōshōdai-ji, which resisted the government measures, retains its identity as a Ritsu temple.
