During Japan's Meiji period (1868-1912) of rapid Westernization,
the propagation of Orthodox Christianity enjoyed remarkable success
in this country. Under the leadership of Archbishop Nicholas
(Kasatkin), Orthodoxy in Japan outstripped the growth of
Protestantism and Roman Catholicism in terms of
missionary-to-convert ratio. After Nicholas pioneers the study of
the Japanese Orthodox Church after its initial boom, tracing the
evolution of this community into the first independent indigenous
East Asian Orthodox Christian body between 1912 and 1956. Set in
the wider contexts of Russo-Japanese relations, Christianity in
Japan, as well as Orthodox mission, this book shows the Japanese
Orthodox case to be an intriguing exception in each of these three
fields. It was a unique instance of an irreducibly Russo-Japanese
community which survived the tumult of Russo-Japanese relations in
the era of the World Wars. This group also defied the usual
typologies of "foreign" (Protestant) and "native" (new religion)
Japanese Christianity. Finally, it was the sole case of a new
mission-originated local Orthodox Church emerging at the time when
other similar initiatives disintegrated worldwide.
