This book provides an in-depth study of Japanese whaling culture,
emphasizing how the Japanese have considered whales and whaling in
relation to their understanding of nature and religion. It examines
why and how the Japanese have mourned the deaths of whales,
treating them as if they were human beings, and assesses the
relevance of this culture to nature conservation and management of
sustainable use of natural resources. It also sheds new light on
Japanese whaling, one of the most controversial issues in the
contemporary world, by highlighting the hitherto unknown aspects of
Japanese beliefs about whales and whaling, which constitute an
integral part of their core concept of how they should coexist with
nature. Through cross-examining previous studies of Japanese
whaling, as well as analyzing new documents and conducting field
research on location, this book presents a comprehensive survey of
Japanese whaling culture and memorial rites for whales and offers
viable insights on how the Japanese whaling culture can be applied
to solving current global issues, including nature conservation,
management of sustainable use of natural resources, and protection
of wildlife and its habitats.
