Senshō Murakami (村上専精, 1 May 1851 – 31 October 1929) was a Meiji period Buddhist scholar and Jodo Shinshu priest.

[2] Senshō Murakami was born in Kyokakuji temple (教覚寺) which was in Tanba Province in early modern Japan.

Senshō quit the school early on and was adopted by the Murakami, Nyukakuji temple(入覚寺) in Aichi prefecture.

His most notable work was 『仏教統一論』, (Discourse on Buddhist Unity), which argued that Japanese Mahayana texts were not the true teachings of Buddha.

While he had explained this argument before in a history text, this book, written more in the style of polemic, became famous in intellectual circles.
