Ichiro Hori's is the first book in Western literature to portray
how Shinto, Buddhist, Confucian, and Taoist elements, as well as
all manner of archaic magical beliefs and practices, are fused on
the folk level. Folk religion, transmitted by the common people
from generation to generation, has greatly conditioned the
political, economic, and cultural development of Japan and
continues to satisfy the emotional and religious needs of the
people. Hori examines the organic relationship between the Japanese
social structure--the family kinship system, village and community
organizations--and folk religion. A glossary with Japanese
characters is included in the index.
Article From American Anthropologist V61, No. 3, June, 1959.
