Ancestor Worship & Japanese Law (Hardcover, New edition)

Eschewing the path of religious pamphleteering in favor of a broad juridical and sociological approach, Hozumi describes the practice of Japanese ancestor-worship, its origins, manifestations, peculiarities and social and legal implications. The author lays aside many misconceptions regarding ancestor-worship, permitting us to see Japanese cultures and religions in an entirely new light. Among the fascinating topics covered are ancestor-worship in Europe and America, the theory of the dread of ghosts, sacred places in the Japanese house, and the relation of ancestor-worship to loyalty and patriotism.
