## About Takashima Ekidan AI

The Takashima Ekidan is a school of I Ching divination based on the writings of Takashima Tozan (1832–1914), a Meiji-era merchant, politician and oracle whose advice shaped many decisions of his time.

This application stands within that tradition and uses AI to bridge the classical readings to the questions of modern life — preserving the dignity of the original text while making it accessible.

Divination is not a substitute for your own decisions. Use it as a cultural instrument for settling the mind, deepening a question, and finding another perspective.

A full biography of Takashima Tozan, the method of the Ekidan, and famous cases that shaped Meiji-era Japan.
