"Politics and Religion in Modern Japan" addresses crucial
religious, socio-political and cultural issues raised by the
troubled relationship between religion and the Japanese state from
the mid-nineteenth century until the present day. It analyzes
political dynamics of both of the two major Japanese religious
traditions: the 'red sun' of national Shinto as well as the 'white
lotus' of Buddhism. From a richly diverse range of disciplinary
perspectives, the authors illuminate the overall history of modern
Japanese political religion, while also focusing in depth on
certain key moments and issues: the Meiji Restoration, the fascist
1930s, the postwar age of new religions, the Yasukuni Shrine
controversy, and two major incidents of religiopolitical violence
in late twentieth century Japan. The work will appeal to students
and scholars of Japanese politics, religion, history, literature,
and culture, as well as to anyone interested in the currently
pressing topic of the relation between politics and religion in the
modern world.
