The Missionary Office (宣教使, senkyōshi)[1] was one of the government offices in Japan during the Meiji period (1868-1912).[2]
Ths mission was found to be too socially divisive and it was abolished in 1872 and replaced with the Ministry of Religion which was presented as neutral between Shinto and Buddhism[1]
