The Sea and the Sacred in Japan is the first book to focus on the
role of the sea in Japanese religions. While many leading Shinto
deities tend to be understood today as unrelated to the sea, and
mountains are considered the privileged sites of sacredness, this
book provides new ways to understand Japanese religious culture and
history. Scholars from North America, Japan and Europe explore the
sea and the sacred in relation to history, culture, politics,
geography, worldviews and cosmology, space and borders, and ritual
practices and doctrines. Examples include Japanese indigenous
conceptualizations of the sea from the Middle Ages to the 20th
century; ancient sea myths and rituals; sea deities and sea cults;
the role of the sea in Buddhist cosmology; and the international
dimension of Japanese Buddhism and its maritime imaginary.
