Early modern Japan witnessed new and unprecedented debates surrounding ancient history, including a school of thought that suggested a significant Korean influence upon ancient Japan. This line of thought contrasted sharply with the contemporary school of kokugaku, which emphasized the traditional understanding of Japan as entirely indigenous. Scholars of kokugaku often positioned their work as a polemic against what they perceived as the widespread influence of traditions imported from China, especially Confucianism, for their alleged corruption of an autochthonic Japanese culture. Modern interpreters of kokugaku thereby focused on the issue of their revulsion of Chinese influence. Focusing on Motoori Norinaga, often considered the consummator of kokugaku, this article analyzes Norinaga’s responses to interpretations of a possible Korean origin of Japanese culture and customs. By contriving commentaries that eliminated such possibilities, this article argues that Norinaga attempted to defend the traditional understanding of ancient Japan as entirely indigenous and unified ab initio.
近代早期的日本见证了围绕古代历史的新的、前所未有的争论,其中包括一个学派,该学派认为朝鲜对古代日本产生了重大影响。这一思想路线与现代日本学派形成鲜明对比,后者强调传统上对日本的理解完全是本土的。kokugaku的学者们经常将他们的作品定位为一场论战,反对他们认为从中国引进的传统,特别是儒家思想的广泛影响,因为他们涉嫌腐败日本本土文化。因此,现代的kokugaku口译员关注的是他们对中国影响的反感问题。本文以经常被认为是kokugaku的完成者的Norinaga Motori为中心,分析了Norinaga对日本文化和习俗可能起源于韩国的解释的反应。通过创造性的评论消除了这种可能性,本文认为Norinaga试图捍卫对古代日本的传统理解,即从一开始就完全是土著和统一的。

Between 1945 and 1951, the Nichiren Buddhist lay organization Soka Gakkai, which had disbanded during the Pacific War, regrouped and burgeoned in a massive proselytizing campaign led by its second president, Toda Jōsei. This effort intertwined three aims: to spread faith in the Lotus Sūtra as the basis for Japan’s postwar reconstruction; to establish an ideal government based on Buddhist principles; and to build a national ordination platform as Japan’s sacred center. Driving it was Toda’s conviction, inherited from his teacher, Makiguchi Tsunesaburō, that Japan was suffering a profound malaise and could only be saved by embracing Nichiren’s teaching. That message formed a powerful link between wartime and postwar Soka Gakkai organizations. It drew Makiguchi into conflict with wartime ideology, leading to his arrest; amid postwar hardships, it found eager reception and shaped what would become Japan’s largest religious movement.
1945年至1951年间,在太平洋战争期间解散的日本佛教世俗组织Soka Gakkai在其第二任总统Toda Jōsei领导的大规模传教运动中重组并蓬勃发展。这一努力将三个目标交织在一起:传播对作为日本战后重建基础的莲花的信仰;建立一个基于佛教原则的理想政府;并建立一个作为日本神圣中心的国家圣职平台。Toda从他的老师Makiguchi Tsunesabrō那里继承了这一信念,即日本正遭受着严重的不适,只有接受日莲的教导才能拯救日本。这一信息在战时和战后的创价组织之间形成了强有力的联系。这让Makiguchi陷入了与战时意识形态的冲突,导致他被捕;在战后的困难中,它受到了热烈的欢迎,并形成了后来成为日本最大的宗教运动。

I was born in northern Kyushu in 1995 and grew up there with three siblings. I have been living in Vancouver, Canada, since 2014. This autobiographical article is my attempt to examine how my worldview has been shaped, and how I have come to be who I am today, through an emerging sense of Japanese identity. My current learning environment has enabled me to be aware of what have often been styled as the distinct virtues of the Japanese people, which have been passed on to me by way of the embodied memories of their past lives. Yet those are quickly disappearing in contemporary Japanese society, and I have found my role through investigating histories that resurrect those virtues for collective rebirth.

This article examines the state of religion in contemporary Japan from the perspective of consumerism and marketization, focusing on the influence spirituality movements have had on the established religious traditions of Buddhism and Shinto as well as traditional practices such as visiting family graves. By introducing statistical data, the article analyzes the popular notion of shifts “away from temples” and “away from shrines” in Japanese society. As a case study, the article discusses Ehara Hiroyuki and his use of media such as television and magazines, which situates his notion of spirituality within a religious marketplace dominated by the fluidity of individual choice. These trends are not alternatives to the religious practices and worldviews of traditional religions, but rather are in continuity with dominant social values such as reverence of ancestors.

This article examines the holy ground of Kōshien, Japan’s annual high school baseball tournament, and the national festival and cultic fever that accompanies it. Some of the most successful schools that participate in Kōshien were founded by new religious groups such as Tenrikyō, PL Kyōdan, and Bentenshū. I offer some suggestions why this is the case, since none of these religions espouse either sports or competition in their formal creed. Furthermore, I consider the success of these schools in a postwar Japanese social context that has changed substantially since their establishment. The article will also touch on the most recent criticism of Japanese collectivism and how this criticism may effect baseball culture.

Constructing Identities through the Shikoku Pilgrimage 从四国朝圣看身份认同的建构

The Shikoku pilgrimage has, until very recently, seen significant growth in pilgrim numbers and appears, as such, to provide a counter-example to the general trend evident in surveys and studies of declining engagement in religious practices in Japan. However, two caveats are needed here: numbers have started to fall in the last decade, and those doing the pilgrimage have often in recent times viewed their pilgrimages as journeys of self-discovery in which identity is paramount and faith is irrelevant or explicitly denied. In addition, the pilgrimage has been promoted by secular authorities as a signifier of regional and national cultural identity in order to develop Shikoku as a tourist destination, and boost the local economy. In this article, I explore these issues, drawing on fieldwork in Shikoku between 1984 and 2019 and on interviews with people—from pilgrims on foot to temple priests to regional government officials—involved in various ways with the pilgrimage. In discussing how identity construction is both a major factor in the motives of pilgrims and an aim of secular agencies seeking to promote the pilgrimage for nonreligious reasons, I examine what this means for studies of religion today through highlighting recent Japanese theoretical examinations of religion, pilgrimage, and tourism while discussing how the Shikoku example both fits with and provides critical counterarguments to their studies.
直到最近,四国朝圣的朝圣者人数一直在显著增长,因此,似乎为调查和研究中显示的日本宗教活动减少的总体趋势提供了一个反例。然而,这里有两点需要注意:在过去的十年里,朝圣的人数开始下降,而那些朝圣的人最近常常把他们的朝圣视为自我发现的旅程,在这个旅程中,身份是至高无上的,信仰是无关紧要的,或者是被明确否认的。此外,为了将四国发展为旅游目的地,并促进当地经济,朝圣活动已被世俗当局作为区域和国家文化认同的象征加以推广。在这篇文章中,我利用1984年至2019年在四国的田野调查,以及对以各种方式参与朝圣的人(从徒步朝圣者到寺庙牧师到地方政府官员)的采访,探讨了这些问题。在讨论身份建构如何既是朝圣者动机的主要因素,又是世俗机构寻求促进非宗教原因的朝圣的目的时,我通过强调最近日本对宗教、朝圣和旅游的理论考察,同时讨论四国的例子如何与他们的研究相适应,并为他们的研究提供了关键的反驳,来研究这对今天的宗教研究意味着什么。

Traversing the Natural, Supernatural, and Paranormal: Yōkai in Postwar Japan 穿越自然、超自然和超自然:战后日本的Yōkai

Yōkai is an elusive category in Japanese history, folklore, and popular culture. It consists of mysterious phenomena that can exercise extraordinary agency in their interactions with humans. Attempting to grapple with this amorphous category, Japanese folklore studies has defined yōkai as malevolent supernatural beings. However, a survey of these studies reveals that most instances of yōkai do not fit this definition. This article discusses the supernaturalization of yōkai and their relegation to the “otherworld” as a process that primarily occurred in three stages: developments in kokugaku cosmology during the early nineteenth century, the import of the concept of the supernatural at the turn of the twentieth century, and the yōkai boom of the late 1960s. In particular, this article emphasizes the importance of the yōkai boom that straddled a premodern folk community and a modernized popular society, leading to a conflation of the concepts of the supernatural, the otherworld, and yōkai.
Yōkai在日本历史、民间传说和流行文化中是一个难以捉摸的类别。它由神秘的现象组成,这些现象可以在与人类的互动中发挥非凡的作用。为了解决这个无定形的类别,日本民俗学研究将yōkai定义为恶毒的超自然生物。然而,对这些研究的调查显示,yōkai的大多数例子都不符合这个定义。本文讨论了yōkai的超自然化和他们被降级到“另一个世界”的过程,这一过程主要发生在三个阶段:19世纪初kokugaku宇宙学的发展,20世纪之交超自然概念的引入,以及20世纪60年代末y艮kai的繁荣。特别是,这篇文章强调了yōkai热潮的重要性,它跨越了前现代民间社区和现代化的大众社会,导致了超自然、另一个世界和y 33396 kai概念的融合。

We are Warriors for the Movement: Misogi Training in the Imperial Rule Assistance League 我们是运动的战士:帝国统治援助联盟的Misogi训练

Based on trainees’ testimonies published in 1941 by the Imperial Rule Assistance League, this article examines the spectrum of identification seen in an early 1940s spiritual cultivation regimen of cold-water purification (misogi) aiming to enhance popular commitment to such national projects as Japan’s war in China and the eradication of liberalism. The revival and ritualization of misogi within modern Shinto was initially led by Kawazura Bonji and later taken up with government sponsorship by a variety of influential Shinto figures, who promoted it within the league. While the league’s misogi programs conveyed a distinctive notion of identity for Japanese men, and while trainees’ testimonies show that they affirmed and identified themselves with it, it is also clear that the training regimen failed to meet their expectations in significant respects. In addition, a 1942 doctrinal dispute greatly undermined the intellectual coherence of misogi training and its concept of identity.
根据1941年由帝国统治援助联盟发表的受训者的证词,本文考察了20世纪40年代早期冷水净化(misogi)精神修炼方案中所看到的认同范围,该方案旨在提高民众对日本在华战争和根除自由主义等国家项目的承诺。现代神道教中misogi的复兴和仪式化最初是由Kawazura Bonji领导的,后来在政府的赞助下,由各种有影响力的神道教人物在联盟中推广。虽然联盟的厌女项目向日本男性传达了一种独特的身份观念,虽然学员的证词表明他们肯定并认同自己的身份,但很明显,这种训练方案在很多方面都没有达到他们的期望。此外,1942年的教义争议极大地破坏了misogi训练及其身份概念的智力一致性。

The revival and ritualization of misogi within modern Shinto was initially led by Kawazura Bonji and later taken up with government sponsorship by a variety of influential Shinto figures, who promoted it within the league. While the league’s misogi programs conveyed a distinctive notion of identity for Japanese men, and while trainees’ testimonies show that they affirmed and identified themselves with it, it is also clear that the training regimen failed to meet their expectations in significant respects. In addition, a 1942 doctrinal dispute greatly undermined the intellectual coherence of misogi training and its concept of identity.","PeriodicalId":44102,"journal":{"name":"JAPANESE JOURNAL OF RELIGIOUS STUDIES","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.4,"publicationDate":"2022-09-24","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"43949762","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"哲学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
