About this ebook

In this volume, Michael Pye uses a chronological approach to present the multifaceted religious landscape of the Japanese archipelago. He traces a narrative trajectory from the available archaeological evidence of the earliest beginnings to today=s dazzlingly pluralistic culture. Special attention is given to the internal branching and interpenetration of religious traditions of various origins, such as Shinto and Buddhism. Featuring up-to-date scholarly findings while remaining easily accessible to a broader readership, the book presents the exciting, wide-ranging and interweaving network of Japanese religious history and its interrelationships with culture and politics, from the reception of foreigners, through processes of transformation and genuinely Japanese developments, to its presence in other countries.
