Gourmet Tour2012recto3 Japan Experts Recommend Once known in the west either in the form of "sukiyaki" or the more exotic "sushi," Japanese cuisine has in recent years become much more familiar and appreciated around the world. Many visitors to Japan will have already sampled the pleasures of raw fish or batter-fried shrimp. But few first-time visitors to Japan are prepared for the variety and sumptuousness of Japanese food, as it is traditionally prepared. Eating in Japan is an experience to be enjoyed and remembered fondly for the rest of your life.

  • Notes Toward a Study of Neighborhood Festivals in Modern Tokyo
    The Shrine : Notes toward a Study of Neighborhood Festivals in Modern Tokyo By A.W. S a d l e r Sarah Lawrence College When I arrived in Japan in the autumn of 1965, I settled my family into our home-away-from-home in a remote comer of Bunkyo-ku3 in Tokyo, and went to call upon an old timer，a man who had spent most of his adult life in Tokyo. I told him of my intention to carry out an exhaustive study of the annual festivals (taisai) of a typical neighbor­ hood shrine (jinja) in my area of residence，and I told him I had a full year at my disposal for the task. “Start on the grounds of the shrine/，was his solid advice; “go over every tsubo '(every square foot3 we might say)，take note of every stone, investigate every marker.” And that is how I began. I worked with the shrines closest to home so that shrine and people would be part of my everyday life. When my wife and I went for an evening stroll, we invariably happened upon the grounds of one of our shrines; when we went to the market for fish or pencils or raaisnes we found ourselves visiting with the ujiko (parishioners; literally，children of the god of the shrine, who is guardian spirit of the neighborhood) of the shrine. I started with five shrines. I had great difficulty arranging for interviews with the priests of two of the five (the reasons for their reluc­ tance to visit with me will be discussed below) ; one was a little too large and famous for my purposes，and another was a little too far from home for really careful scrutiny.

  • Soto Zen and the Inari Cult: Symbiotic and Exorcistic Trends in Buddhist and Folk Religious Amalgamations
    Soto Zen and the Inari Cult: Symbiotic and Exorcistic Trends in Buddhist and Folk Religious Amalgamations Steven Heine Pennsylvania State University We revere the Dharma, whether manifested in a round pillar, a garden lantern, a buddha, a fox, a demon or a deity, a man or a woman. Dogen, ShobIJgenzo '"Raihaitokuzui"l FOLK RELIGIOUS AND BUDDHIST INARI IMAGES This paper investigates the historical and ideological roots of the syncretism between Soto Zen and the cult of Inari, which venerates the god of the rice harvest and fertility often represented by its chief mes­ senger and avatar, the fox (kitsune). This example of Buddhist-folk re­ ligious syncretism is most evident in a small network of branch temples of So to which, although affiliated with one of the sect's two main temples at Eiheiji, has its own main temple in Toyokawa city in Aichi prefecture southeast of Nagoya and several subsidiary temples, including one in Tokyo Akasaka. This institution is referred to simultaneously, or at times interchangeably, as Myogonji temple (the Buddhist name) and Tokoyawa Inari, and it enshrines at least three forms of the fox/rice deity which are considered mutually supportive as protector deities for the temple-shrine complex and its followers: the Buddhist deity Dakini­ shinten depicted as a female bodhisattva astride a flying white fox en­ shrined in the dharma-hall; the indigenous Inari fertility deity known here as Toyokawa Inari in a shrine hall; and a variety of small fox icons which are guardians of these images. 76 Pacific World, New Series, No. 10, 1994 Although Dakini-shinten is labeled Buddhist, the formation ofits imagery and iconography has little precedent in Indian or Chinese mod­ els and seems to reflect a prior syncretism with the native god.

That volume was first published in 1994, with a revised compact edition published in 1999. The main text of Shinto jiten is translated into English and publicly available in its entirety at the Kokugakuin University website as "The Encyclopedia of Shinto" (EOS). This English edition of the chronology is based on the one that appeared in the revised version of the Jiten. It is already available online, but it is also being published in book form in hopes of facilitating its use. The original Japanese-language chronology was produced by Inoue Nobutaka and Namiki Kazuko. The English translation was prepared by Carl Freire, with assistance from Kobori Keiko. Translation and publication of the chronology was carried out as part of the "Digital Museum Operation and Development for Educational Purposes" project of the Institute for Japanese Culture and Classics, Organization for the Advancement of Research and Development, Kokugakuin University.

  • The “Separation of Gods and Buddhas” at Omiwa Shrine in Meiji Japan
    Japanese Journal of Religious Studies 1995 22/1-2 The “Separation of Gods and Buddhas” at Omiwa Shrine in Meiji Japan Klaus A ntoni The development of Shinto during the Meiji period constitutes one of the most fascinating phenomena of modern Japanese history, especially in view of the far-reaching effect that the State Shinto of the late Meiji period had on many aspects of Japanese life. But although the nature of Meiji- period Shinto has been widely researched, far less attention has been direct­ ed to the genesis of the movement as an intellectual, political, and reli­ gious force. Since many of the keys for understanding the later development of State Shinto are found in the years of the Meiji Restoration, research on this period——which could be called the shinbutsu bunri (separation of gods and Buddhas) period— is essential if we are to comprehend the fu ll significance of the Shinto movement. The term shinbutsu bunri refers to the separation of Shinto and Buddhism (actually the expulsion of Buddhism from syncretic Shinto- Buddhist sanctuaries) that occurred from the spring of 1868. This separa­ tion was one of the central events in the formation of modern Japanese Shinto. The present article analyzes the events of the shinbutsu bunri period at one of Japan’s most important shrines, Omiwa Jinja in Nara Prefecture. The events connected with this shrine from 1868 to the early 1870s provide an interesting reflection of what happened to religious insti­ tutions throughout Japan during that period. The Nara Basin is sure to impress anyone traveling through its thickly settled plains as a region of deep historic significance.

  • Inari Pilgrimage Following One’S Path on the Mountain
    Japanese Journal of Religious Studies 1997 2 4/3-4 Inari Pilgrimage Following One’s Path on the Mountain Karen A. Smyers This article provides an example of contemporary pilgrimage practices in Japan by focusing on the Inari pilgrimage on Inari Mountain in Fuslfiimi, Kyoto. Inari Mountain provides the most popular venue for Inari pilgrimage, offering a multitude of Inari shrines and the opportuni­ ty to establish one’s own pilgrimage path. After a brief survey of historical pilgrimage records on the mountain, this study focuses on two groups observed by the author, in order to illustrate how the pilgrimage is individ­ ualized, giving the pilgrims an opportunity to express their own personal­ ized In a ri beliefs. The in div id ualizatio n modeled by these In a ri pilgrimages calls into question generalizations regarding the sense of “com- munitas” that is often identified with the liminality of the pilgrimage. U nlike historical pilgrimage routes that in some way connect to the life and death of the founder of the religion (Turner and Turner 1978，p. 33)，or those that transport the pilgrim “by the mimesis of symbolic action” through the realms of existence and states of spiritual death and rebirth (Blacker 1975，p. 208)，the pilgrimage that centers on Inari Mountain 稲荷山 in Fushimi 伏見，Kyoto, has neither an his­ torical nor a symbolic narrative that gives it shape.1 It takes shape dif­ ferently for each pilerim，depending on the particular route followed through the dense mountain of symbols. It may be that there was in the past one or more coherent narrative, which has eroded over time from a rich rite of spiritual passage to a test of physical stamina in which the doine is emphasized more than the meaning.2 Or, it may be that there never was a prescribed format, and the pilgrimage tradition developed in similar fashion to that of the rock altar tradition一 1 This article is based on fieldwork conducted from September 1980 to June 1991.

  • The Secularization of Religion in the City
    Japanese Journal of Religious Studies 1986:13/2-3 The Secularization of Religion in the City Ishii Kenji Religion is an area of life extremely hard to rationalize. Since religious institutions are communitarian by nature, rationalization cannot easily be adopted and specialization tends to be delayed. Moreover, conceptual models of society have shifted from the moral order to the technical order (see Wilson 1976). If we use the term secularization to refer to this process whereby the domain of religion as a supernatural order gradually shrinks along with structural differentiation in the social system as a whole, in a society which has attained a high degree of industrialization religion becomes a private affair, driven out from the center of society and answering only to the needs of the individual. If society indeed only consists in mutual actions of anonymous role- players who have become depersonalized by the rationalization process，can religion still have a positive relation to society? This is the theme I would like to deal with in this essay. If, as Thomas Luckmann claims，secularization is the result of a unique historical combination of cultural, religious, and socio-structural conditions (1976，p.ll), then combination patterns different from that of Western society are possible. Yanagawa and Abe have argued that one key for solving the problem of the integration of Japanese society is to be found in ancestor worship. Their point of departure is “the assumption that the integration function that the ‘church’ exercised in Western societies has never been performed either by ‘institutional’ or ‘organizational’ religions in Japan” (1978，p.12).
