Born in 1718 in Harima Province, Teshima Toan studied under renowned scholars and emerged as a leading figure in the Shingaku (heart-learning) school. He emphasized moral self-cultivation, practical ethics, and the unity of thought and action. Teshima established private academies that taught ethical philosophy, calligraphy, and martial training to samurai and townspeople alike. His writings and lectures advocated for personal virtue, social harmony, and community responsibility. He attracted disciples across Japan and influenced educational practices of the era. Teshima died in 1786, leaving a philosophical legacy that shaped later Japanese thought and education.
