Jump to
Inoue Enryō (井上 円了, March 18, 1858 – June 6, 1919) was a Japanese philosopher, Buddhist reformer, educator, and royalist. A key figure in the reception of Western philosophy, the emergence of modern Buddhism, and the permeation of the imperial ideology during the second half of the Meiji Era. He is the founder of Toyo University and the creator of Tetsugaku-dō Park (Temple Garden of Philosophy) in Tokyo. Because he studied apparitions (妖怪, yōkai) in order to debunk superstitions, he is sometimes called Professor Specter (妖怪博士, Yōkai Hakase) and the Spook Doctor (お化け博士, Obake Hakase).
