Keian Genju (桂庵 玄樹?, 1427 – June 28, 1508) was a Japanese Buddhist monk [1][2] who studied classics under Ishō at Nanzen-ji.[3]

Keian accompanied the 1466 mission to the Ming court in China. In Beijing, he was favored by the Chenghua Emperor.[4] Keian delayed his return to Japan until 1475.[4]

Keian was the first to translate Zhu Xi's Collective Commentaries on the Great Learning into Japanese.[5]

Keian founded Satsunan-gakuha, a neo-confucianist school in Kagoshima.[6]
