Zusammenfassung:Recent scholarship has elucidated many aspects of medieval Japanese religion and society, leading to a radical rethinking of the term "Kamakura New Buddhism." Kuroda Toshio's model of an exoteric-esoteric system (kenmitsu taisei) has been particularly influential. Nevertheless some problems remain. This article summarizes a model for understanding Kamakura New Buddhism in terms of the differences between official monks (kansō) and reclusive monks (tonseisō).
