Taoism (道教, doukyou) is a native religion of China based on it's folklore similar to how Japanese folklore's relation to the Shinto religion of Japan. It is also a philosophical religion like Buddhism.

Taoism in Touhou

During Seiga Kaku's history in the far past, Japan appeared to be one of the few places around this area that wasn't sufficiently populated by the hermits of Taoism presumably due to the Yaoyorozu no Kami of Shinto and the more recent arrival, the Buddhist who were fighting eachother for supremacy. Taoism seemed to have disolved more successfully into Japan than Buddism because its' concept of immortality appeared to be more appealing.
