The year 1951 also saw the appearance of Kanamatsu’s “Goodness and Naturalness,”. Kanamatsu had published an English-language booklet on a similar subject shortlybefore, entitled Amitabha: The Life of Naturalness (1949). These two publications were followed in turn by his influential writing entitled quite simply Naturalness(1956) which, published in California by The White Path Society, evidently struck a significant chord in the American reception of Buddhism.

Here we see that the common Japanese wish to learn from abroad at any cost was being regarded as almost treacherous in sharing such critical assumptions. And how additionally galling it must have been for many to see China, the great but at that time despised neighbour, as a possible candidate for a modern Buddhist revival, rather than Japan! Such an assumption is robustly rebutted by the Editorial, and because of the affinity of the underlying ideas we therefore include it in full immediately after the exchange between Yamabe and Rhys Davids.

Ueda Yoshifumi studied at Tokyo University’s department of Indian and Buddhist Studies, gaining his doctorate in 1948 and becoming professor at Nagoya University until 1986, after which he became the principal of Chikushi Jogakuen Tanki Daigaku 筑紫女学園短期大学, a junior college for women. He represents a voice from the Nishi Honganji denomination of Shin Buddhism, though not an official one. Indeed his extremely insightful writings make no easy reading for those who would protect doctrinal positions against any tendencies to de-literalise them.

As we pick up the story after the ending of global hostilities, it seems appropriate to take some account of the way in which these devastating events are themselves reflected in the content of the journal. The previously mentioned Editorial of May 1949 provides the link. Though unsigned, this Editorial bears all the marks of Suzuki Daisetsu’s authorship, and the fact that he published an article on “Buddhism and Education” in the same issue is significant.6 In this piece, originally a talk, Suzuki does not mince his words and distinguishes sharply between the character of Shintō and of Buddhism. He distances himself from Shintō by the use of the phrase “Japanese Shinto militarists”7 (p.41) but also regards a militaristic propensity as being fundamentally characteristic of Shintō.

One detects a certain resignation about the inevitability of wars, even though conferences were being held in order to avoid them, and this sense of resignation or passivity is still found at some points in the article by Kaneko Daiei, “Shin Religion as I believe it,” also published not so long after the war (1951) and reproduced below. The question is whether the Buddhist analysis of these matters comes to rest in a pessimistic view of humankind, as some have supposed. Or is there also some well-spring of new perceptions which is able actively to transform humanity in a manner which goes beyond individual piety? On balance, while showing some sadness, Kaneko’s article stakes out a ground for the latter.

Following Kaneko’s article “Shin Buddhism as I believe it,” we look ahead to his further article on “The Meaning of Salvation in the Doctrine of Pure Land Buddhism,” which appeared in 1965. Thus by bringing altogether three articles by Kaneko, we introduce in this volume a respected “voice” of Shin Buddhism which, bridging the tragic war years, sought to engage international attention in long-term continuity.

A profundity is implied in Yamaguchi Susumu’s article on the concept of the Pure Land in the teaching of Nāgārjuna. Here we learn that Shin Buddhist conceptions, despite what for some may be their apparent simplicity, bear an intimate relationship to the notion of emptiness (śūnyatā ) which characterizes all Mahāyāna teaching.

Returning to Japanese authors, and following the impact of Kanamatsu Kenryō, we look ahead to contributions by Shin Buddhist authors who were fully cognizant of the wider discussions and debates which were beginning to take place in post-war Kyōto. Specifically, we introduce here leading articles by Ueda Yoshifumi.
