Ideology and Christianity in Japan shows the major role played by
Christian-related discourse in the formation of early-modern and
modern Japanese political ideology. The book traces a history
development of anti-Christian ideas in Japan from the banning of
Christianity by the Tokugawa shogunate in the early 1600s, to the
use of Christian and anti-Christian ideology in the construction of
modern Japanese state institutions at the end of the 1800s. Kiri
Paramore recasts the history of Christian-related discourse in
Japan in a new paradigm showing its influence on modern thought and
politics and demonstrates the direct links between the development
of ideology in the modern Japanese state, and the construction of
political thought in the early Tokugawa shogunate. Demonstrating
hitherto ignored links in Japanese history between modern and
early-modern, and between religious and political elements this
book will appeal to students and scholars of Japanese history,
religion and politics.
