Japan, although a small country, is identified as perhaps the only
civilization composed of just one nation. In spite of its many
encounters with axial civilizations Japan has somehow preserved a
unique sense of self. This enduring quality lends an air of mystery
to Japanese culture that continues to draw the fascination of many.
Such curiosity about the nature of Japan and its people has
prompted the publication of many books that contribute to the
academic genre known as "Nipponjinron." This book makes a
distinctly new contribution as a theological anthropology of
Japaneseness by paying careful attention to the religious
sensibilities that undergird Japanese behavior. The author draws on
numerous seminal works of Nipponjinron to build a sturdy
philosophical and historical platform. Through concrete examples,
classic literature, historical analysis, and religious reflection,
the author carefully and skillfully illuminates a new path to
understanding Japaneseness by drawing the reader's attention to the
lifeblood of Japanese behavior, "maternal-filial affection."
