  • Thoughts on man and nature in Japan: A personal statement

    Open AccessWilbur M FridellARTICLEJapanese Journal of Religious…1978

    Not long ago I reread some of the works of Elizabeth Vining, that remarkable lady who burst into prominence in the postwar years as tutor to Akihito, Crown Prince of Japan. I have appreciated all the books of Mrs. Vining to come my way, for she brings to her writing not only skill but also a rare and enriching humaneness. My favorites among her writings, however, are those in which she describes her years in Japan: Windows for the Crown Prince, R…

  • A Fresh Look at State Shinto

    Wilbur M FridellARTICLEJournal of the American Academy…1976

    Because of its extreme political sensitivity, the Japanese phenomenon retrospectively called State Shinto was the object of very little critical study during the “State Shinto period”itself (1868–1945). This was especially true of Japanese scholars, and among foreigners, even Daniel Holtom's excellent work focused too narrowly on the nationalistic roles of Shinto shrines. Now that more objective postwar studies are appearing, it is possible to re…

  • The establishment of Shrine Shinto in Meiji Japan

    Open AccessWilbur M FridellARTICLEJapanese Journal of Religious…1975

    In what follows I propose to inquire more fully into the admini strative relations between the Japanese state and Shinto shrines during the Meiji period, or 1868-1912. The specific problem I wish to investigate is the process whereby the shrines of the nation were " established" as institutions of state. Although consider able work has been done on the early-Meiji history of shrine ad ministration,1 from mid-Meiji the record is not nearly so clea…

  • Government Ethics Textbooks in Late Meiji Japan

    Open AccessWilbur M FridellARTICLEThe Journal of Asian Studies1970Cited by: 3References: 2

    As one means of uniting the people behind the new regime, Japanese government authorities employed a series of ethics (shushin) textbooks in the schools during the Meiji period (1868-1912) and beyond. With the appearance of fully government-produced texts in 1903 and their first revision in 1910, ideological patterns were established which were influential down to the last revision of the series in 1941. The 1910 revision fused old and new socio-…
