Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Development of Religion in Japan Japan Offers a field for study which has peculiar advantages. Its history is comparatively brief, and the successive moments in its development are well marked. By the aid of historical criticism, the primi tive rites and beliefs can be discerned. These were rapidly supplanted or transformed by the introduction of an alien civilisation - a process which can be traced step by step. The imported system, however, did not remain foreign, but was modified at every point by the genius and needs of the people. Especially in structive is the inﬂuence of the rise and development of the feudal system. Finally, in our day, new factors of peculiar potency are introduced, with results which can be understood as yet only in part. Nevertheless, through all, there has been a continuity so marked that The Development of Religion in Japan ex presses the fundamental fact more truly than does the title suggested in the beginning The Religions of Japan.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Religion in Japan: Shintoism Buddhism Christianity Foreign trade, save for some concessions, - accom panied by the severest restrictions, - permitted to the Dutch; no foreigners were allowed to enter, and no natives to leave, the empire; the mission aries were expelled, and Christianity was prohibited under pain of death. The Japanese, as has been said, suspected everybody and shut out the world. Previous to this crisis the English had retired; but when, in 167 3, our country sought to resume friendly relations, the connexion existing between the English and Portuguese courts proved an insuperable obstacle 1 Subsequent overtures made in 1849, were courteously but firmly rejected; though the period of Japan's isolation was, as later events proved, almost at an end. In 1853, the Government of the United States despatched a ﬂeet across the Pacific, under the command of Com modore Perry, to insist upon the surrender of a policy which, it was urged, no one nation of the world had a right to adopt towards the rest. Whether the arguments with which this position was advanced would of themselves have prevailed, is impossible to say; but since it was evident that should words fail, sterner measures would be resorted to, Japan had no choice but to submit. Treaties were accordingly concluded, first with the United States, and subsequently with England. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Development of Religion in Japan The writer has been mindful of the announcement of the Committee that it is formed "for the purpose of instituting popular courses in the History of Religion," and he has attempted, therefore, in brief compass, to set forth for the general public the results of the scientific study of the Religions of Japan. His specific object is to exhibit the continuity and the development of the religious life of the people. Modern research shows at once the unity and the variety of religious experience in different ages and lands. There is unity, since men's minds respond in like fashion to the influences which are common to humanity. Given similar surroundings, physical, economic, social, political and the race reveals its oneness by the similarity of its response. Yet circumstances are never quite alike, and, besides, there is the incalculable factor of individual genius, so that there is a wide diversity in the expression of this response.

Another and much larger work, comprising thirty books, and containing a record of much of the same mythology and history as the Ko-ji-ki, is called the Nikon or Chronicles of J apan.1 It is a composite of various elements derived from numerous different sources, and while it reports in substance the myths and stories of the gods as they are found in the Ko-ji-ki, it makes no mention of that older work and omits some things which the older work records. It gives, however, a num ber and variety of reports of the myths and tra ditions, informing us how, in one ancient writing, it is so and so recorded; in another writing, it is somewhat difierently told. This feature enhances its value for purposes of comparison among the varying traditions. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Christian Faith in Japan The aim of this little volume is not to give a complete account of missionary work in Japan, still less to provide a general description of the country or the people, but to afford to the general reader a sufficient introduction to both to enable him to appreciate the work which the Holy Catholic Church of Japan has already accomplished, and its prospects of development in the immediate future. By far the greater number of professing Christians in Japan at the present time are attached to the Russian or the Roman Missions or to Missions started by various Non conformist Bodies. It is from no desire to create a false impression of the importance, from a numerical standpoint, of the Japan Church that a detailed account of these other Missions has been omitted. The omission is simply due to exigencies of Space. The Rev. Herbert Moore, to whom the Society is indebted for writing this account of its work, was a member of the St. Andrew's Brotherhood, Tokyo, from 1891 to 189 5, and was afterwards a missionary at Kobe for two years.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Shinto (the Way of the Gods) Prehistoric Shinto. - Ethnologists are agreed that the predominant element of the Japanese race came to Japan by way of Korea from that part of Asia which lies north of China, probably by a succession of immigrations which extended over many centuries. It is useless to speculate as to what rudiments of religious belief the ancestors of the Japanese race may have brought with them from their continental home. Sun-worship has long been a central feature of Tartar religions, as it is of Shinto; but such a coincidence proves nothing, as this cult is universal among nations in the barbaric stage of civilization. It is impossible to say whether or not an acquaintance with the old State religion of China - essentially a nature-worship had an inﬂuence on the prehistoric development of Shinto. The circumstance that the Sun was the chief deity of the latter and Heaven of the former is adverse to this supposi tion. Nor is there anything in Japan which corresponds with the Shangti of the ancient Chinese. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Christianity in Japan: 1859-1883 Christianization of Japan does not simply mean a conversion of heathens, nor an uplifting of the ignorant to a higher enjoyment of civilized life as is often supposed by the American public; but it involves a far wider question. It is, in short, an attempt to reconstruct the Oriental idea upon the basis of the Occidental principle, or to implant the seeds of Christian truth into already cultivated and fertilized soil, or, in other words, it is another crusade of the western nations against the Asiatic nations in a different form and from different motives. The struggle between the Orient and the Occident is nothing new. For centuries the East and West regarded each other as irreconcilable enemies, and the borders of Europe were a permanent battlefield between these two antagonistic forces. While they were thus struggling with each other there sprang up two distinct civilizations, each differing diametrically from the other. One, starting from the valleys of the Nile and the Euphrates, went westward through Europe and America and developed into the Christian religion. The other, rising at the foot of the Himalaya, moved eastward to the extremity of Asia and appeared in Buddhism and Confucianism. The one characterizes a free state; the other, an absolute monarchy. One is a positive principle; the other, a negative principle. These two diametrically opposed principles, the twins of the world's history, which fought for their supremacy for so many centuries without ever coming to peaceful terms, happen to meet again in Japan today after each has completed its civilization in its own direction. What will be the outcome of this second meeting? Will it be the renewal of the old endless struggle? About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
