Abstract The reception of Wang Yangming’s thought in Meiji Japan transcends conventional narratives of “Japanese Yangming Studies” or “Modern Yangming Studies”. It emerges as a critical discourse grounded in East-West civilizational cross-fertilization. Through analyses of Meiji intellectuals—Miyake Setsurei, Inoue Tetsujirō, and Nishida Kitarō—who articulated Wang’s thought through scholarly frameworks, this study reveals how Meiji Yangmingism diversified into three distinct lineages: Polemical Nativism: Armoring Japanese Spirit Against Western Hegemony; Reconstructive Genealogy: Remapping Eastern Traditions’ Legitimacy; Ontological Selfhood: Forging Modern Japanese Subjectivity. Herein, Wang’s thought is placed between Eastern and Western thought, between Japanese tradition and modernity, and between foreign ideas and the construction of self-personality, functioned not merely as a witness to Japan’s synthesis of Eastern thought and civilizational dialogue, but as a multivalent catalyst: simultaneously instrument, medium, and critical mirror that exposed the very contradictions within “Meiji Yangmingism” it helped create.
