Religion in Modern Japanese Society

| ○講義概要 |
This course discusses the diverse ways in which religion is understood and practiced in contemporary Japanese society. Following a brief overview of religious traditions in the pre-modern period, we will focus on Japanese religion in the modern period. Topics include the invention of State Shinto and its role in nation-building, the emergence of new religious movements, the appearance of religious and quasi-religious phenomena in secular dimensions of Japanese society, and social conflict related to competing religious values and commitments in the postwar period.
