| Research Abstract |
In this research, we investigated the multi-layered relation between a traditional religious folkways and old and new established religious group religions.
Specifically, it is the structural relation of the religious folkways diffused in the community, and the religions as a established religious groups
Our research yielded many interesting facts. We discovered the fact that the ancestor worship, a funeral custom, and the religious cult as a religious folkways have been changing.
This shows the tendency which makes a social combination new by the result of social change. For example, it is the relationship between a temple and its parishioners etc. Furthermore, Buddhism-affiliated New religions are quotaing with the old established Buddhism religious, taking in a religious folkways skillfully. Although cooperation and reconciliation are generally observed, it is a division-of-work relation. Moreover, even when strain and conflict were observed, a division-of-work relation has been potentially continuous.
The result of this investigation clarified the multi-layered relation of a Japanese religion clearly.
In 2006 the report was released in response to the collection of data published in 2005.
We deeply appreciate your support of our research efforts.
