 Tendai History
Within a few decades, the Tendai school expanded far beyond the confines of Mt. Hiei, and Tendai temples were established as far away as the island of Kyushu in the south, and in the province of Shimotsuke in the north.
The history of the Tendai school in the Kamakura era, is principally the story of five Tendai monks, trained and ordained on Hieizan, who went on to establish their own schools of Buddhism.
The Tendai monk Zeshobo, who later adopted the name Nichiren, was born in the province of Awa of a low-ranking samurai family, and received his ordination and principal education in Tendai Buddhism in a provincial temple, far from Hieizan Enryakuji.

Tendai (Japanese: 天台宗, Tendai-shū) is a Japanese school of Mahayana Buddhism, a descendant of the Chinese Tiantai or Lotus Sutra school.
The Tendai sect flourished under the patronage of the imperial family and nobility in Japan; in 784, the Imperial capital was moved from Nara to nearby Kyoto.
During the Kamakura Period, the Tendai school used its patronage to try to oppose the growth of rival factions—particularly the Nichiren school, which began to grow in power among the merchant middle class, and the Pure Land school, which eventually came to claim the loyalty of many of the poorer classes.

 Nichiren and Tendai
Tendai Buddhism was to be based on the Lotus Sutra and its teaching of "Ichinen Sanzen" or "Three thousand worlds interpolated into a single thought moment." It's teachings and practice incorporated "mind contemplation"/meditation, study of Mahayana precepts and teachings, development of fully realized human beings, and a integrative approach to Buddhism.
With the introduction of Tendai, the praxis of this new version of Buddhism was different from that of the older schools.
Thus, Tendai was known as "theoretical Tendai" because from the start it lacked a prescriptive and practical "praxis" or practice that would be attractive to ordinary people lacking time, or engaging to monks who would after a while be prone to boredom.

 Tendai Buddhism
Emerging from within the powerful Tendai school, ideas of original enlightenment were appropriated by a number of Buddhist traditions and influenced nascent theories about the kami (local deities) as well as medieval aesthetics and the literary and performing arts.
Using the examples of Tendai and Nichiren Buddhism and their interactions throughout the medieval period, she calls into question both overly facile distinctions between "old" and "new" Buddhism and the long‑standing scholarly assumptions that have perpetuated them.
Original enlightenment thought, in a broad sense, was not exclusive to Tendai Buddhism, nor is the question of its relationship to the new Kamakura Buddhism limited to the Kamakura period.
