In Sacred High City, Sacred Low City, Steven Heine argues that
lived religion in Japan functions as an integral part of daily
life; any apparent lack of interest masks a fundamental commitment
to participating regularly in diverse, though diffused, religious
practices. The book uses case studies of religious sites at two
representative but contrasting Tokyo neighborhoods as a basis for
reflecting on this apparently contradictory quality. In what ways
does Japan continue to carry on and adapt tradition, and to what
extent has modern secular society lost touch with the traditional
elements of religion? Or does Japanese religiosity reflect another,
possibly postmodern, alternative beyond the dichotomy of sacred and
secular, in which religious differences as well as a seeming
indifference to religion are encompassed as part of a contemporary
lifestyle?
