Fujiwara Seika (1561 to 1619) was a Japanese Neo-Confucian philosopher and writer of the early Edo period. Born in Harima Province, now part of Miki in Hyogo Prefecture, to the Reizei family, he was sent at the age of seven or eight to the ShÅkoku-ji temple to become a Zen Buddhist priest and studied Confucianism there alongside his Zen training. In 1596 he tried to travel to Ming China to study under an authentic Confucian master, but bad weather forced the party to turn back, and he learned more about Neo-Confucianism from the Korean scholar Kang Hang. His best-known student was Hayashi Razan (1583 to 1657).
