This presentation is an attempt to consider ��establishing scholarship one��s will�� as preached by Toju Nakae (1608-48), named ��the founder of the Japanese doctrines of Wang Yang-Ming��. Because an original opinion is not to be found in his understanding of this ��will�� concept, it has not been mentioned in the preceding studies. However, the areas in which Toju mentions ��will�� are characteristic of him alone. Toju preached this doctrine for disciples who failed in study due to lack of diligence; asserting that ��Establishing scholarship one��s will�� was indispensable to successful study above all other factors. However, there were disciples who could not succeed even when making scholarship their ��will��. For such disciples, Toju taught that anyone could reach a position of comfort and wellbeing if they mastered study. Through such instruction, Toju encouraged his disciples. Toju could do no more than encourage his students; believing, as he did, that his disciples must give rise to the will to study by themselves. In Toju��s later years, there were certain changes in the nuance of this teaching. Toju came to preach ��Establishing scholarship your will�� as an aspect of one��s reading of Chinese classics of Confucianism. Toju thought that reading was the gate of scholarship. This stance was held in common with the late 16th century Korean scholar of Confucianism I Yul-gok. According to classical Neo Confucianism, however, reading without will to study is meaningless. Thus, it may be argued that the problem of ��will�� with which Toju was concerned was a problem which spread throughout East Asian Confucian world.
