Japan adopted Confucianism in the 6th century (Ping & Lili, 2010), and it has developed in Japan since then. The early stage of Confucianism in Japan did not see much growth in Japanese society, as Confucianism was considered a foreign culture. In a society that emphasizes nationalism as much as Japanese society, foreign culture does not usually easily make an impact. In the Kamakura period, Confucianism in Japan had to co-exist with Buddhism, and failed to achieve individual development. Not until Edo period did Confucianism in Japan flourish and entered its peak era, becoming what is known as Japanese Confucianism (Ping & Lili 2010).
