Buddhism in the Kamakura period of Japan. The Kamakura period refers to the period when the Shogunate was established in Kamakura in the third year of Kenkyu (1192) and ended with the demise of the Hojo clan in the third year of Motohiro (1333).

When Buddhism was introduced to Japan from Baekje in the mid-6th century, the royal family, aristocrats, and local nobles of the time accepted Buddhism as a highly foreign culture, and they used various techniques introduced to Buddhism at the same time to establish temples to show off their power. As a result, monks living in monasteries enjoy various privileges, and in turn, monks are prohibited from moving freely outside monasteries. It was not until the Kamakura period that Buddhism gradually influenced people outside the temples.

The 150 years from 1192, when Minamoto Yoritomo was appointed as the Shogun, to 1333, when the Kamakura Shogunate fell, is known as the Kamakura period in the history of cave-type Japan. At that time, the war was in full swing, and natural disasters such as hunger continued to occur, and the people were in a state of extreme anxiety. Therefore, the constant search for spiritual sustenance has become their urgent hope.

However, Buddhism before that was invariably only for the aristocracy, and the Buddhist teachings were very complex, so it was difficult for them to become the spiritual sustenance of the samurai class and the common people. Kamakura New Buddhism was born in response to the demands of these classes. The teachings of Neo-Buddhism, which were easy to understand and simple in faith, were widely welcomed and supported by the public, samurai, and commoners.

From the perspective of the development of Buddhism in Japan as a whole, it can be said that Buddhism ushered in the most prosperous era in the Kamakura period.
