III. BRIEF HISTORY OF SECRET BUDDHISM IN
JAPAN
Four superior Buddhist priests and others had brought the
theory and practice of Buddhism to Japan. From that time, Secret
Buddhism was organized and thoroughly systematized by Kukai,
who was the great master Kobo at Koyosan (mountain of Koyo).
Kobo was also the founder of the Shingon sect in Japan. He was a
fine artist of sculpture and calligraphy. His works of literature
were admired both in China and Japan. The Secret Sect, or
Diamond Vehicle, might be represented by Kobo who had
compiled the complete Secret Doctrine in Japan. To understand
the position of the Secret Doctrine, it is necessary to sketch the
civilization process brought by Buddhism to this country.
