*''Born: [[1640]]''
*''Died: [[1701]]''
Keichû was a [[Shingon]] Buddhist priest who is often regarded as one of the early pioneers of the ''[[kokugaku]]'' ("National Learning" or Nativism) movement in [[Edo period]] Japan.
Commissioned by [[Tokugawa Mitsukuni]] to write a commentary on the ''[[Manyoshu|Man'yôshû]]'', Keichû built upon the work of [[Shimokobe Choryu|Shimokôbe Chôryû]], and wrote on Japan as the "Land of the Gods," and on the great harmony that reigned when Japan followed the "way of the [[kami]]" (i.e. [[Shinto]]), prior to the introduction of [[Confucianism]] and [[Buddhism]].
