Starting in 2023, Ryukichi Endo Research Center will work to widely publicize the achievements of Professor Endo Ryukichi, in preparation for its 100th anniversary.
Professor Endo Ryukichi advocated the systematization of various academic disciplines, including Eastern ethics, but his "Construction of Japanese Shinto Studies" is not well known. This led to Professor Endo's later proposal of "Seisei Philosophy," and was also a groundbreaking concept for "Shinto Studies."
Ryukichi Endo Research Center at Chiba University of Commerce will be inviting a lecturer to give a talk on the theme of "Dr. Endo Ryukichi and Shinto."
