Research Abstract

This project has done with the object of grasping the relation of the ecology and the religion, especially shinto religion. Traditionaly speaking, shinto religion has been connectecd with nature and social life.
We researched some presentative places of this problem, Iki, Tsusima, Hiroshima, Ise, Nigata, Tokyo so on. Japanese religion, especially shinto religion has penetrated japanese culture. Shinto has constructed a japanese bacic attitude toward nature.
However the process of industrization and urbanization has changed such a attitude. Highly development of economy led a violent development of county and devastated natural environment. As the result we think the public has been misied.
The protection of environment is quite imporatnt on a woridwide scale. Geopietic cults of japanese traditional religion deserve more attenntion. Eeligious symbolisms of ancient groves are showing the possibility of the future. So our shudy in the point of ecological and religious perspective is much important.
We think that the japanese bacic attitude toward nature is changing. However it is also clear that we have a strong yearn for the harmony with nature in the depth of our life. Two different orientation has been confronted.
