Kanjin (勧進 Kanjin) (or Kange) ('temple sollicitation') is a Japanese term for the various methods of a Buddhist monk to solicit donations. It generally indicates the recommendation or encouragement through chanted sutras. Solicited donations are usually intended for the establishment of new temples or statues or their renovations. Since the medieval age, Kanjin has come to mean 'fund raising'.
