Satō Issai (佐藤 一斎, 14 November 1772 – 19 October 1859) was a famous Confucian scholar during the late Edo period from Iwamura-han, Mino No Kuni (currently 岩村町 Iwamura-chō in Gifu Prefecture). Adopted by the Hayashi clan of scholars, his teachings or stints as adviser had a deep impact on many figures of the last days of the shogunate such as the reformers Tsugaru Yukitsugu, Sakuma Shōzan, the painter Watanabe Kazan, Yokoi Shōnan, and Nakamura Masanao.
