“While this book is about
Japanese religion, my
|
|
|
goal
is to frame the discussion in such a way that
|
|
|
when
readers put the book down, they will have a
|
|
|
deeper
knowledge of Japanese society and culture
|
|
in
general, and possibly even deeper insight into
|
|
|
the
nature of religion itself. The book deals with
|
|
|
the
relationship between Japanese religion,
|
|
|
culture,
and values on the one hand, and society,
|
|
|
social
change, and economic development on the
|
|
|
other”(Davis,
