  • The Full Gospel Church and Korean Shamanism in Japan-Resident Korean Society
    The Full Gospel Church and Korean Shamanism in Japan-Resident Korean Society Shamanism as a Universal Foundational Religion Iida Takafumi Religion in Japan-resident Korean society is a complex fusion of interrelated facets. It involves, in addition to traditional Confucian rites and Korean shamanism (Jp. fuzoku 巫俗),1 Korean Buddhism, Christianity, and belief in various Japanese religions including Buddhism, Shinto, folk reli- gions, and new religions. Furthermore, among the Japan-resident Koreans (zainichi korian 在 日コリアン ) there is a considerable difference between the religious faith and practice of the “oldcomers” (the Koreans who came to Japan before World War II and their succeeding generations) and that of the “newcomers” (those who came to Japan from the 1970s and after). If we categorize these groupings into ethnic-culturally oriented (that is, “assimilation” oriented, zainichi oriented, homeland oriented) and organiza- tional/network (voluntary networking, formal organization network) types, * Iida Takafumi is a professor in the Faculty of Letters, Department of Sociology, at Otani University. The English translation is by Jon Morris, Tohoku University. 1. Note on the translation: fuzoku has been translated as “Korean shamanism” through- out. Both the English and Japanese terms are used to imply a broad range of traditions, such as Kuh, and typically Korean modes of shamanic behavior in a broad sense. Personal names are given in the Japanese order, with the addition in some cases of alternative (anglicized or Japanese) names which appear in English-language materials. 122 iida takafumi | 123 we may lay out the various categories as per the table below (from Iida 2002, 58).

Christianity is widely regarded as having failed to make any impact on Japanese culture, and to be a foreign body (indeed in the opinion of some an irritating foreign body) that has failed to accommodate with or indigenise itself in Japan. And yet, Japanese people continue to choose to convert to Christianity. What is the significance of this? Are people who convert those who feel excluded from mainline Japanese society, the proof of which is their affiliation with a foreign religion, or can this phenomenon of conversion be understood in a different way? This thesis suggests that it can be, and that the fact that small but significant numbers of Japanese regularly convert to Christianity means that the understanding of Christianity’s place in the Japanese religious landscape needs to be re-examined.

  • Uchimura Kanzô Studies and Translations in Western Languages. a Bibliography
    Uchimura Kanzô Studies and Translations in Western Languages A Bibliography Mira Sonntag, Tokyo Robert N. Bellah is said to have counted Uchimura Kanzô among the three most outstanding figures in the history of thought in Japan. Nonetheless, we have to admit to the fact that the greater part of the nearly two hundred studies on him listed below mainly concentrate on his becoming a soldier of Christ and of his country, and not on his specific contribution as a thinker. This may be due to the fading topicality of Uchimura’s most important philosophical problem, that of how to unite science (meaning the theory of evolution) and Christian belief. Some of his followers continued this inquiry, in a slightly different form, as a search for a synthesis of Marxist ideas and Christianity. Certain scholars regard these disciples as the true ones. Others adopted his emphasis of the Non-church principle (Mukyôkai shugi) and/or his Biblical interpretations. There are some studies in Western languages about the Non-church Movement which have a sociological and historical focus, but studies on Uchimura’s theological thought are still rare. Another obstacle to the understanding of his life and work is the commentary of his followers and scholars on the question of whether his Christian belief represents a special Japanese form of Christianity, or the original Christianity of the first church. Uchimura became known in the Western world through his autobiography How I Became a Christian, and through a book on prominent figures in Japanese history, Japan and the Japanese, later reprinted in an expanded version under the title Representative Men of Japan.
