The economic thought in Japan first appeared in the early Tokugawa period and has gradually developed since. The word 経済(Keizai) which was commonly used through the Edo period originally came from a Chinese word 経世済民(Keisei-Saimin) and it was originally used with much broader meaning than it is today. It actually meant how to govern and rule the people. Such kind of usage was first introduced by intellectuals in the beginning of the Edo period in order to consolidate the ideological foundation of the Shougunate order. It was Confucianism, particularly of the Chu Hsi school, which supported that kind of idea. Although the scholar who popularized the thought of Keisei-Saimin was Sorai Ogyu (1666-1728), one of the greatest thinkers, in this country, it was Banzan Kumazawa (1619-1691) who actually took the lead in establishing the thought. He was a forerunner of Sorai Ogyu and other followers of the philosophy. In considering the basic thinking of Kumazawa, we find in him a deep compassionate feeling and a benevolent attitude toward the people as a person belonging to the ruling class. This was a basic philosophy of Kumazawa's Keisei-Saimin thought. It seems that Kumazawa had a good understanding of the social system as well as the actual life of the people of the day and, therefore, tried to introduce the Keisei-Saimin thought as a political technique for the purpose of governing the people. In comparing one idea of Keisei-Saimin by Kumazawa with one of Sorai Ogyu and other followers, this article aims to trace the development of the philosophy through the Tokugawa period.
