Neonationalism, Religion, and Patriotic Education in Post-disaster Japan
Recent decades have seen a rise in religious nationalism around the world, and Japan is no exception. Over the past two decades there has been a significant rightward shift in Japanese politics and this trend is closely related to organized religion and its affiliated political efforts to "recover" or "restore" what had been destroyed during the Allied Occupation of Japan (1945-52). Our focus here is on the close connection between the Associatio…

Religion and Social Crisis in Japan
Japanese Christians and the world of the dead
The accommodation of the ancestral dead remains to this day the key issue in the Japanese acceptance of Christianity. This essay discloses the strategies that indigenous Christian movements have developed to confront converts' concerns that they will be eternally separated from their ancestors, if converted to Christianity, and that their ancestors as Buddhists are destined for eternal damnation

Christianity Made in Japan
For centuries, the accommodation between Japan and Christianity has been an uneasy one. Compared with other Asian countries, the churches in Japan have never counted more than a small number of believers resigned to a pattern of ritual and belief transplanted from the West. There has however been a rise in indigenous movements aimed at a Christianity that is at once made in Japan and faithful to the scriptures and apostolic tradition. This text p…

The life-cycle of ethnic churches in sociological perspective

In fact, the story of religion in the New World has been largely shaped by patterns of immigration and the establishment of various ethnic traditions (Herberg 1960, p. 10). In spite of the prominence of ethnic churches on the religious landscape of North America, it is a type of religious organization that has been largely ignored by sociologists o…
