*''Japanese'': 心学 ''(shingaku)''
''Shingaku'' (lit. "heart learning") is a religion founded by [[Ishida Baigan]] ([[1685]]-[[1744]]), a Kyoto-based merchant.
The teachings of ''Shingaku'' combine elements of [[Shinto]], [[Buddhism]] and [[Confucianism]] into a set of philosophies particularly well-suited to providing a system of ethics for merchants and artisans, who are encouraged to be devoted to their work, frugal, and honest.
