The Evolution of Buddhism During the Kamakura Period in Japan (1192-1333)

The Kamakura period (1192-1333) was a transformative era for Buddhism in Japan. Notable figures such as Shunjo, Eisai, and Dogen played pivotal roles in introducing and establishing various schools of Zen and Chan Buddhism. Shunjo returned from China in 1211, founding Sennuji in Kyoto, while Eisai introduced Zen to the city in 1202, establishing Keninji. Dogen spent years in China before returning in 1227, influencing Japanese spirituality significantly. This period also saw a flow of Chinese masters to Japan, further enriching its Buddhist traditions.
