Research Abstract

For the past three years we have concentrated on gathering materials, soliciting authors, and editing essays collected for eventual publication from University of Hawaii Press as The Nanzan Guide to Japanese Religions. We prepared a running "galley's page" on the contents of this work on the Nanzan Institute for Religion and Culture internet home page to manage the project and keep the authors informed of its progress. The project leader and other members of the team (Swanson, Kisala, Chilson, Okuyama) attended the annual conference of the American Academy of Religion in Toronto, Canada, in November 2002 to discuss the project with the publisher and with various contributors. The contents of the collection are as follows :
Section I. Religious Traditions
1.Japanese Religions (Robert Kisala), 2. Shinto (Norman Havens), 3. Japanese Buddhism (Jacquiline Stone), 4. Folk Religion (Ian Reader), 5. New Religions (Trevor Astley), 6. Japanese Christianity (Mark Mullins)
Section II. Historical
1. Ancient (Matsumura Kazuo), 2. Classical (Yoshida Kazuhiko), 3. Medieval (William Bodiford), 4. Early Modern (Duncan Williams), 5. Modern (Hayashi Makoto), 6. Contemporary (Shimazono Susumu)
Section III. Thematic
1. Symbolism, Ritual and the Arts (Richard Payne), 2. Literature and Scripture (Robert Morrell), 3. State and Religion (Helen Hardacre), 4. Geography and Environment (Barbara Ambros), 5. Intellectual History (Thomas Kasulis), 6. Gender (Kawahashi Noriko)
