| Research Abstract |
Through surveys and analysis of Toshogu, the leading religious institution of Early Modern Japan, this research project has sought to further our understanding of the roles of religion and thought in state and society. The fact that warriors (samurai) held onto power in Japanese society by force of authority as well as by force of arms and compunction is given as an example of contrast with Europe or China. This research project has examined of the forms of religious practice and institution which made that situation possible. A large number of reports and presentations have been delivered and many discussions held both in Japan and overseas. Every effort has been made to make the results of this research widely available.
