This is the only book to date offering a critical overview of
Shinto from early times to the modern era, and evaluating Shinto's
place in Japanese religious culture. In recent years, a few books
on medieval Shinto have appeared, but none has attempted to depict
the broader picture, to examine critically Shinto's origins and its
subsequent development through the medieval, pre-modern and modern
periods. The essays in this book address such key topics as Shinto
and Daoism in early Japan, Shinto and the natural environment,
Shinto and state ritual in early Japan, Shinto and Buddhism in
medieval Japan, and Shinto and the state in the modern period. All
of the essays highlight the dynamic nature of Shinto and shrine
history by focusing on the three-way relationship, often fraught,
between local shrine cults, Shinto agendas and Buddhism.
