Kokugaku (国学; Japanese pronunciation: [ko.kɯ.ɡa.kɯ, -ŋa.kɯ], lit. 'national study') was an academic movement, a school of Japanese philology and philosophy originating during the Edo period. Kokugaku scholars worked to refocus Japanese scholarship away from the then-dominant study of Chinese, Confucian, and Buddhist texts in favor of research into the early Japanese classics.
