Wikipedia definition
2. Tō-on​, also pronounced "tō-in", are Japanese kanji readings imported from China by Zen monks and merchants during and after the Song dynasty. This period roughly corresponds with the mid-Heian to Edo Period of Japan. During the Muromachi period, they were referred to as "sō-on" . Together, they are collectively known as "tōsō-on" . Scholars divide tō-on into two groups: those that are based on Zen of the Middle Ages, and those based on the Obaku school of Buddhism of the Middle Ages.
