Kuma Matsuri
The matagi are traditional hunters in the mountainous beech forests of northeastern Japan. They are distinguishable from recreational hunters in their veneration of the yama no kami , a female spirit or god who dwells in the mountains. This article will focus on their kuma matsuri , a set of rituals associated with bear hunting. It will argue that the rituals reinforce a sense of connectedness and interdependence with the forested mountains, as p…
The Rousing Drum
Ritual is too often equated with unvarying or repetitive behavior. This impression is encouraged by the ethnographic tendency toward an overly narrow time frame, which highlights current relationships and conditions rather than long-term developments. The Rousing Drum takes a different view. It adopts a historical perspective encompassing several hundred years in exploring the role of ritual as an effective medium for negotiating sociopolitical a…
Authority, Resistance, and Ritualization
Bonds of the Dead
With this book, Mark Michael Rowe joins a growing number of Religious Studies scholars who are incorporating ethnographic fieldwork, one of the hallmarks of Anthropology, into their research on contemporary religions. Fieldwork is vital to understanding the interplay between doctrine and practicality; it also offers insight into the processes of change over time as religious institutions—in this case, Buddhist temples—struggle to maintain their r…
Village Life in Modern Japan
Identity and ritual in a Japanese diving village
Are mountain gods vindictive? Competing images of the Japanese alpine landscape
This article underscores the importance of folk religious concepts in understanding the way in which people interact with the environment that envelops and sustains them. Images of rural Japan have drawn almost exclusively on the tradition of irrigated rice cultivation combined with ancestor worship. Alternative concepts have been overlooked or ignored, fostering the sense of a uniform heritage. The author highlights one such alternative, which d…
The Rural Imaginary
Civilization and Monsters
Monsters, ghosts, the supernatural, the fantastic, the mysterious. These are not usually considered the stuff of modernism. More often they are regarded as inconsequential to the study of the modern, or, at best, seen as representative of traditional beliefs that are overcome and left behind in the transformation toward modernity. In Civilisation and Monsters Gerald Figal asserts that discourse on the fantastic was at the heart of the historical …

Sanctity and Sanction in Communal Ritual
Japanese society is characterized by an emphasis on harmony and self-restraint as guiding principles of daily interaction. A a consequence, alcohol is often considered a necessary catalyst for promoting the open expression of alternative viewpoints, though only in certain culturally prescribed contexts. A Shinto festival procession provides one such context. The bearers of a large, sanctified object purify themselves with liberal amounts of sake,…

Ritual as an Instrument of Political Resistance in Rural Japan
Ritual has been acknowledged as an important form of social practice, especially as it is employed by subordinated peoples to demonstrate their opposition toward a dominant ideology. So far, however, the recognized effects of such ritual activities have been limited to simple consciousness-raising. The following analysis assigns a more instrumental role to the performance of ritual itself. It adopts a historical perspective in examining how an in…
Japan
Leading scholars from Japan, Europe, Southeast Asia, Latin America, and the United States analyze Japan's effort to rise to superpower status by concentrating on economic, trade, and financial factors, rather than on the military might that conferred great power status in the past
