Bushido: Its Admirers and Critics
The ministry of education so admired it in the 1930s that it made a reading of Bushido a part of its notorious moral training program. To anyone reading the pages of Bushido at the end of the twentieth century, Nitobe's apparent ability to hold a cosmopolitan humanism at the personal level together with obedience to a ruthless colonial government appears at best like inconsistency. Little of the fiery criticism of imperialism reflected in the wri…
Prophets of Peace: Pacifism and Cultural Identity in Japan's New Religions
Wars in Persian Gulf and Yugoslavia have given new impetus to ongoing debate in Japan concerning its postwar constitution and related issues of national security and world order. Although often overlooked in this debate, Japanese religious groups--especially some of New Religions--have promoted peace as a major theme of their doctrine and activities, often explicitly supporting a pacifist position. This study, undertaken in wake of Persian Gulf W…
The Cross in the Dark Valley: The Canadian Protestant Missionary Movement in the Japanese Empire, 1931-1945
Canada and Japan in the Twentieth Century
This collection of 15 essays is intended as a first: a bridge between two countries created by the distance and the language barriers that separate Canadian research on Japan from Japanese scholarship on Canada. These articles explore the growth of social, diplomatic, economic, political, and religious ties between the two countries from the turn of the century to the present. Each topic is addressed by at least two articles, one by a Canadian sc…
Buddhism and the State in Sixteenth-Century Japan
Liberation Theology in Latin America
This is an important book, despite the deceptive and somewhat disingenuous title. Not, as it might seem, a survey of the latest theologies of social change from Latin America, this collection represents rather an attack on such theologies by members of the religious right in the United States. Some of the authors stand close to the seats of power; like Ernest Lefever and his Ethics and Public Policy Center, or Jeane Kirkpatrick, former United Sta…

The Myth of the Two Emperors: A Study in Misunderstanding
WHEN THE NATIONS of the West resumed contact with Japan in the middle of the nineteenth century, they began negotiations on the basis of an imperfect understanding of the structure of Japanese government. They believed that the Sh6gun, or taikun (tycoon), was the actual ruler of the country. The Emperor, or Mikado, was thought to be a kind of hereditary pope who had nothing to do with the making of political decisions. In short, they concluded th…
