In Japan, Émile Durkheim's main work on the sociology of religion, Les Formes élémentaires de la vie religieuse (hereafter Les Formes élémentaires) had a major impact on not only the field of sociology, but also on the fields of anthropology and the study of religion (Shūkyōgaku). However, the detailed circumstances of this impact are not well known outside Japan, probably due to the language barrier. This article delineates the process of Japan's reception of Les Formes élémentaires, particularly before the Second World War, and considers the significance of the effect this publication had upon academic disciplines in Japan, especially the study of religion
