In the late 1800s, as Japanese leaders mulled over the usefulness
of religion in modernizing their country, they chose to invite
Unitarian missionaries to Japan. This book spotlights one facet of
debates sparked by the subsequent encounter between Unitarianism
and Buddhism-an intersection that has been largely neglected in the
scholarly literature. Focusing on the cascade of events triggered
by the missionary presence of the American Unitarian Association on
Japanese soil between 1887 and 1922, Michel Mohr's study sheds new
light on this formative time in Japanese religious and intellectual
history. Drawing on the wealth of information contained in
correspondence sent and received by Unitarian missionaries in
Japan, as well as periodicals, archival materials, and Japanese
sources, Mohr shows how this missionary presence elicited
unprecedented debates on "universality" and how the ambiguous idea
of "universal truth" was utilized by missionaries to promote their
own cultural and ethnocentric agendas. At the turn of the twentieth
century this notion was appropriated and reformulated by Japanese
intellectuals and religious leaders, often to suit new political
and nationalistic ambitions.
