Script error: No such module "Nihongo". is a private university in Nishi-sugamo, Toshima, Tokyo, Japan. The university was founded in the last year of the Taishō period (1926) by merging the three Buddhist colleges. The three were:
- the Tendai-shū College (Script error: No such module "Lang"., Tendai-shū daigaku', founded in 1885),
- the Buzan College (Script error: No such module "Lang"., Buzan daigaku, founded in 1887 and funded by Shingon-shū Buzan-ha), and
- the Religious College (Script error: No such module "Lang"., Shūkyō daigaku, founded in 1887 and funded by Jōdo-shū).
Its school precepts are based on the Tendai school of Buddhism. The concept for the university began when five doctors—Junjiro Takakusu, Masaharu Anesaki, Eun Maeda, Senshō Murakami and Masataro Sawayanagi—who were leaders of Buddhist society in Japan, proposed creating a Buddhist university union.[1]
