Nyoraikyo is a religion which founded by former samurai servant Kino in Nagoya castle town in 1802.Nyoraikyohas beenviewed as ``Minshushukyo`` which is a concept of Japanese historical studies.This concept has been appreciated because it`s established by people, which means a movement from pre-modern to modern in Japanese history. But, I have some questions. Is only ``Minshushukyo`` important? Are there any differences between ``Minshushukyo`` and the other religions in the same age? In this essay, first,I`d like to focus on the Buddhism which has been ignored in studies of ``Minshushukyo``, and the internal religious controversies of ``Jodo-ShinSect``shouldbe noticed since it happened in the same age with Nyoraikyo.Secondly, I attend topoint out that they have same problems.At last, I`ll try torevaluethe ``Minshushukyo`` relatively in 19th century.
