"Yijin" and "Yin Yang" as Japanese philosophy Ekigaku, Ekidou and Ing-Yo


Introduction


Generally the sources of "Yijin" were born as the divinations of China, which were the acts of finding and saying what were going to happen in the future, about 4,000 years ago. They were developed within some methods called Renzan-Eki and Kizo-Eki, etc., and arranged or organized for 700~800 years. At last "Yijin" has appeared into this world with a concept of "Yin Yang". These thoughts arrived in Japan some 1,500 years ago. We have been studying, practicing or structuring these especial ideas and they have been growing into Japanese Philosophy, "Ekigaku, Ekidou and Ing-Yo". Oriental Philosophies are based on "Yijin" and "Yin Yang". Japanese Philosophy is only one of them.

I hope various theories will be made in each countries according as their cultures, beauties and happiness. But the underlying law within the universe is only one like the Earth is just only one. The underlying law will tell us the differentiation between discrimination and discernment and how to use our lives more beautifully. I am willing to keep the faith in this law coming from nature. And I can go on living.
