Nakae Tôju was a prominent [[Confucianism|Confucian]] scholar of the [[Edo period]], credited with advancing the thought of [[Wang Yangming]] in Japan.
[[Kumazawa Banzan]] was among his most prominent disciples.
Though Nakae began his studies of Confucianism with devoted attention to the school of [[Zhu Xi]], he later shifted to a focus and dedication to the Wang Yangming (J: ''Ôyômei'') school of thought. He is said to have been particularly interested in "Wang's notions of extending one's intuitive knowledge (''ryôchi'', C: ''liang zhi'') and of unity of knowledge and action."<ref>David Lu, ''Japan: A Documentary History'', ME Sharpe (1997), 245.</ref>
[[Kumazawa Banzan]] was among Nakae's most prominent disciples.
