First Published in 2005. Routledge is an imprint of Taylor &
Francis, an informa company.
Eschewing the path of religious pamphleteering in favor of a broad
juridical and sociological approach, Hozumi describes the practice
of Japanese ancestor-worship, its origins, manifestations,
peculiarities and social and legal implications. The author lays
aside many misconceptions regarding ancestor-worship, permitting us
to see Japanese cultures and religions in an entirely new light.
Among the fascinating topics covered are ancestor-worship in Europe
and America, the theory of the dread of ghosts, sacred places in
the Japanese house, and the relation of ancestor-worship to loyalty
and patriotism.
