*''Born: [[1755]]''
*''Died: [[1811]]''
Kaiho Seiryô, sometimes seen as Kaibo Seiryô, was an [[Edo period]] intellectual who advised a number of [[han|domains]] on economic policy. He is perhaps best known for his treatise ''Keiko dan'', written sometime after [[1811]], in which he provides a somewhat parodic guide to good government, substituting the character ''ri'' (利), meaning "profit," for that normally seen in [[Confucianism|Confucian]] discussions, ''[[li (principle)|ri]]'' (理) meaning "virtue" or "principle."
