McMullen Editor’s Introduction Esoteric Buddhist Traditions in Medieval Japan he term “esoteric Buddhism” (mikkyō 密教) tends to invoke images often considered obscene to a modern audience. Such popular impres- sions may include artworks insinuating copulation between wrathful Tdeities that portend to convey a profound and hidden meaning, or mysterious rites involving sexual symbolism and the summoning of otherworldly powers to execute acts of violence on behalf of a patron. Similar to tantric Buddhism elsewhere in Asia, many of the popular representations of such imagery can be dismissed as modern interpretations and constructs (White 2000, 4–5; Wede- meyer 2013, 18–36).

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.

  • The Interpretation of Shi-Mo-He-Yan-Lun(Is<Pte
    The JapaneseAssociationJapanese Association of Indian and Buddhist Studies (152> Jburnal ofincfian andBucidhist &udies Vbl. 56, No.3, March 2008 The interpretation of Shi-mo-he-yan-lun (iS<ptE-ajMwh) of Saisen(}fime) seen mainly with Ben-ken-mitsu-ni-kyo- ron-ken-klyo-sho(#}eeas=utthmastte) ToyosHiMA YUgo Introduction SZii-mo-he:yan-lun is one of the annotated books ofDa-cheng-qi-xin-lun (]JEckretsth), and describes the work ofNEgdnuna. It is a forgery, and thought to be approved by China or the Silla Kingdom in the first half of the eigtith century. Da-cheng-qi=xin-inn-:yiVi (LA: ftreffwheefl) written by Fa-chang (643-712, i15wt) and Da-cheng-qi-xin-lun:yi-shu (;A;inyg meEmb#en) written by Mian-shao (617-686, nee) are famous as the annotated books of Da-cheng-qi-xin-lun. Slzi-mo-he:yan-lun is also seen as an influence on Da-cheng-qi-xin- lun:yidi and is considered to be an annetated baok of the Kcgon study. Hewcver, S;ipi-mo- he:yan-lun sets up a new stmcture of 33 types of dharma and gates (fa-men, ttiPH) and the bu-er-mo-hen-yan (theabsolute teaching ofbuddha, JI<::1tesufi'f), fbr example. These are the original interpretations not seen in Da-cheng-gi-xin-lun. In Japan, Kukai (774-835, Zma) valued this work and it came to occupy an important position in the Shingon study. Saisen (nvma, 1025-1l15, who was the monk ofNinnasii (itfiIlr) temple at the end of the Heian era) also treated Shi-mo-he:yan-lun as an antheritic work written by Nagaziuna.

Já měl však možnost diskutovat s Japonci na téma šintó (神道) jako náboženství a oni se s touto definicí rozcházeli. Považují šintó spíše za svůj postoj k životu či přímo za část kultury, jejíž prvky jsou součástí jejich každodenního života.

[ALL RIGHTS RESERVED.] PLATE 1. BIRD's-EYE VIEW OF THE CITY OF YEDO, AS IT APPEARED IN 1863. The narrative of a Japanese; what he has seen and the people he has met in the course of the last forty years. By Joseph Heco. Edited by James Murdoch http://www.loc.gov/resource/calbk.112 I. August 4th. This morning the U.S. Consulate was found to be minus its national coat-of-arms over the gate-way. This seemed to ruffle the worthy Consul very considerably. He at once issued a notice offering a reward for information leading to the apprehension and conviction of the thief who had been tampering with Uncle Sam's fowl-yard. But all to no purpose,—for what really became of that American Eagle remains a mystery even unto this day. On August 6th the English fleet under Admiral Kupper steamed out of the bay in line. It was said to be bound for Kagoshima, Satsuma's Capital, to exact reparation from that Daimio for the outrage committed by his men at Namamugi on the Tokaido in September, 1862. August 8th. The foreign representatives were notified by the Shogun's Government that Ogasawara, Dzosho-no-kami had been released from his membership of the Gorojiu.

  • Capital-Nation-State: a Genealogy of Yasukuni Shrine
    Capital-Nation-State: A Genealogy of Yasukuni Shrine by Joshua P. Baxter A thesis submitted in conformity with the requirements for the degree of Doctorate of Philosophy Department of East Asian Studies University of Toronto © Copyright by Joshua P. Baxter November 2016 Capital-Nation-State: A Genealogy of Yasukuni Shrine Joshua P. Baxter Doctorate of Philosophy Department of East Asian Studies University of Toronto November 2016 Abstract Japan’s militaristic past continues to haunt the present and often at the center of these debates is the site that commemorates the war dead, Yasukuni Shrine. This dissertation seeks to address the political economy of the shrine and argues that this issue cannot be transcended if the history of the development of capitalism in Japan continues to be bracketed off in favor of narrating the shrine strictly through the discourse of the nation and the state. This claim derives from the observation that Yasukuni Shrine and the development of capitalism in Japan emerge at the same historical moment and thus they must also share an underlying logic. By adding capital to the equation, it becomes evident that the shrine is at the nexus of the operation of Capital- Nation-State and thus played a role in producing the very idea of modern Japan. Using a variety of primary sources, from state documents to personal diaries and newspaper reports, the archival research reveals how the shrine, as a state institution, was shaped by economic interactions just as much as it was by state ideology. In each chapter a different aspect of how the history of capitalism intersects with the space of the shrine is examined through the themes of everyday life, commodity exchange, urban planning, and universal conscription.

  • Everyday Fascism in Contemporary Japan Etsko Kasai
    Everyday Fascism in Contemporary Japan Etsko Kasai Submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in the Graduate School of Arts and Sciences Columbia University 2013 ©2013 Etsko Kasai All rights reserved Abstract Everyday Fascism in Contemporary Japan Etsko Kasai This dissertation uses the concept of fascism in order to examine the socio-culture of contemporary Japan. Defined in terms of its commodity structure, fascism turns out to be a relevant concept to Japan not only prior to and during the Asia-Pacific War (1931-1945) but also from the postwar days to date. Against various forms of culturalism that claim that the country is essentially totalitarian and its culture is innately violent, I will argue that the country has shared fascist conditions with those other countries and regions that operate in the mode of mechanical reproduction. While the overall mode of mass-reproduction has been further articulated by different moments, such as late capitalism or post-modernism, the cultural and political condition of reducing singular lives and events into standardized forms has continued in these countries and regions roughly since the 1920s. My view will expand the horizon of studies of fascism, which has hitherto been limited to Europe between the two World Wars. At the same time, the view of fascism’s generality should not be blind to local inflections and historical specificities. In this dissertation, I will examine such trans-war Japanese institutions as the ideologies of emperorship, formation of the petty bourgeois class, and corporatist organizations of gender and locality.

Unlike Christianity or Buddhism, all things on earth were brought forth and ruled over by the gods who reside throughout all nature. So even mountains and trees often become objects of worship. The belief of Shintoism is similar to that of native Americans who believe in animism. That is one of the reasons why most Japanese believe in both Shintoism and Buddhism.
