  • State Shinto”
    Recent Research on “State Shinto” Okuyama Michiaki 奥山倫明 Nanzan Institute for Religion & Culture As a scholarly concept, the concept of State Shinto has been developing, especially after 1945, to refer to the prewar situation surrounding the sup- port and management shrine matters by the state. Academic works are accumulating, both on the concept of State Shinto itself and on the elements that concretely constituted State Shinto. This essay will first summarize the scholarly institutions surrounding the researches related to State Shinto developed in the past fifteen years or so. Then it will try to give an overview of the related sites and facilities of State Shinto, elements that concretely constituted prewar State Shinto. elen Hardacre published Shinto: A History in 2017. In this book she “tries to address the issue of continuity in Shinto history from a new vantage point,” after Kuroda Toshio’s theory on Shinto dismantled “the rhetoric of Shinto as ‘the indigenous religion of HJapan’” in the 1980s (5). Hardacre discusses the subject of modern Shinto in the following five chapters in this book: Chapter 12 entitled “Shinto and the Meiji State”; Chapter 13 “Shinto and Imperial Japan; Chapter 14 “Shinto from 1945 through 1989”; Chapter 15 “Shrine Festivals and Their Changing Place in the Public Sphere”; and Chapter 16 “Heisei Shinto.” These five chapters occupy approximately one-third of the main text of the volume (198 among 552 pages). In this book, “State Shinto” is not a main topic, but nevertheless she pays sig- nificant attention to it. In the introduction that summarizes the contents of each chapter, Hardacre comments on the term “State Shinto” in referring to Chapter 12.

Almost all are Japanese terms. The dictionary can be used in the ordinary way if the Shintō term you want to look up is already in Japanese (e.g. kami rather than ‘deity’) and has a main entry in the dictionary. If, as is very likely, the concept or word you want is in English such as ‘pollution’, ‘children’, ‘shrine’, etc., or perhaps a place-name like ‘Kyōto’ or ‘Akita’ which does not have a main entry, then consult the comprehensive Thematic Index of English and Japanese terms at the end of the Dictionary first.

  • Nikko Toshogu Shrine Closely Associated with Tokugawa Ieyasu Five Storied Pagoda
    Nikko Toshogu Shrine Closely associated with Tokugawa Ieyasu Five Storied Pagoda The Shrines and Temples of Nikko form a single complex composed of one hundred three religious buildings within two Shinto shrines (The Tôshôgû and The Futarasan-jinja) and one Buddhist temple (The Rinnô-ji) located in an outstanding natural setting. The Nikko shrines and temples are a perfect illustration of the architectural style of the Edo period as applied to Shinto shrines and Buddhist temples Torii Gate • The Nikko shrines and temples, together with their environment, are an outstanding example of a traditional Japanese religious center, associated with the Shinto perception of the relationship of man with nature, in which mountains and forests have a sacred meaning and are objects of veneration, in a religious practice that is still very much alive today. • First buildings were constructed on the slopes of the sacred Nikko mountains by a Buddhist monk in the 8th century.

  • Alma M. Karlin's Visits to Temples and Shrines in Japan
    ALMA M. KARLIN’S VISITS TO TEMPLES AND SHRINES IN JAPAN Chikako Shigemori Bučar Introduction Alma M. Karlin (1889-1950), born in Celje, went on a journey around the world between 1919 and 1928, and stayed in Japan for a lit- tle more than a year, from June 1922 to July 1923. There is a large col- lection of postcards from her journey archived in the Regional Museum of Celje. Among them are quite a number of postcards from Japan (528 pieces), and among these, about 100 of temples and shrines, including tombs of emperors and other historical persons - i.e., postcards related to religions and folk traditions of Japan. Karlin almost always wrote on the reverse of these postcards some lines of explanation about each picture in German. On the other hand, the Japanese part of her trav- elogue is very short, only about 40 pages of 700. (Einsame Weltreise / Im Banne der Südsee, both published in Germany in 1930). In order to understand Alma Karlin’s observation and interpretation of matters related to religions in Japan and beliefs of Japanese people, we depend on her memos on the postcards and her rather subjective impressions in her travelogue. This paper presents facts on the religious sights which Karlin is thought to have visited, and an analysis of Karlin’s understand- ing and interpretation of the Japanese religious life based on her memos on the postcards and the Japanese part of her travelogue. In the following section, Alma Karlin and her journey around the world are briefly presented, with a specific focus on the year of her stay in Japan, 1922-1923.
