    Shinkō Yōryō 信仰要領
    (Keiseisha 警醒社, 1913-05) Harada 原田, Tasuku 助
    This publication does not strictly belong to "Zen texts" but it shows one facet of Christianity as it was understood by Japanese Unitarians. Harada Tasuku 原田 助 (1863–1940) became President of Dōshisha before moving to the University of Hawaii in 1920 to create one of the first Japanese studies programs abroad. The interest of this short pamphlet is mostly historical but it provides a snapshot of how Christianity would be taught in 1913. This is the ninth revised edition, while the first edition is dated Meiji 37 (1904).
