| Annotation: | Based on the University of Chicago’s 1965 Haskell Lectures series, this book examines how various religions (e.g., Shinto, Buddhism, Confucianism, Taoism, Shamanism, and Christianity) have contributed to folk religion in Japan. Of particular ecological interest is the chapter on how mountains are used for conceptualizing the “other” world in addition to more general discussions on cosmology, religious ceremonies, interactions with and perceptions of sacred mountains, and the concept of axis mundi. |
