Bito Jishu

Japanese: 尾藤二洲 - びとうじしゅう
Bito Jishu

A Confucian scholar of the late Edo period. His given name was Takamoto, his pen name Shiin, and his nickname was Ryosa. He was born to a shipping merchant in Kawanoe, Iyo Province. He injured his leg at a young age, but he devoted himself to his studies, learning classical Japanese literature and philology from Ogyu Sorai. At the age of 24, he went to Osaka to study under Katayama Hokkai (1723-1790), and was associated with fellow student Yori Shunsui, and Nakai Chikuzan and Riken of Kaitokudo. While he excelled in poetry and prose, he turned to Neo-Confucianism and studied and advocated it as "Sei-gaku" (orthodox school of thought) with his comrades, including Yori Shunsui and Shunpu (1753-1825) and Koga Seiri. In 1791 (Kansei 3), when the ban on heretical learning was imposed during the Kansei era, he was summoned by the shogunate and served as a Confucian scholar at the Shoheiko Academy for 20 years before dying in Edo. He was known as one of the Three Doctors of the Kansei era along with Okada Kansen (also known as Koga Seiri) and Shibano Ritsuzan. His writings include "Seigaku Shisho" (1784) and "Sosanroku" (completed in 1777), as well as the collection "Seikikenshu" (year of publication unknown).

江戸後期の儒学者。名は孝肇(たかもと)、字(あざな)は志尹(しいん)、通称は良佐。伊予国川之江の廻船(かいせん)業者の家に生まれた。幼時に足を傷め、学問に励んで荻生徂徠(おぎゅうそらい)の古文辞学などを学んだ。24歳のとき大坂に出て片山北海(かたやまほっかい)(1723―1790)に師事、同門の頼春水(らいしゅんすい)、懐徳堂(かいとくどう)の中井竹山(ちくざん)・履軒(りけん)らと交わった。詩文をよくする一方、思想面では朱子学に転じて、頼春水・春風(1753―1825)、古賀精里(こがせいり)らの同志と、これを「正学」として考究・唱導した。寛政(かんせい)異学の禁に際して、1791年(寛政3)幕府に召し出され、昌平黌(しょうへいこう)の儒官を20年勤めて江戸に没した。岡田寒泉(おかだかんせん)(または古賀精里)、柴野栗山(しばのりつざん)とともに寛政(かんせい)の三博士(はかせ)と称せられた。著述に『正学指掌(せいがくししょう)』(1784)『素餐(そさん)録』(1777成立)など、また集として『静寄軒集』(刊年未詳)がある。
