"The Landscape of Japanese Polytheism" PHP Shinsho Nobuhiro Kubota Has crease marks. #NobuhiroKubota #Books #JapaneseThought #JapaneseReligion #Polytheism ------------------------------------------------- (Contents) Where do the gods exist for the Japanese? What do the landscapes of "sacred places" such as Mount Miwa, the forests of Kumano, Ise Jingu Shrine surrounded by trees, and the Izumo Plain tell us? The author, who continues field work in the religious worlds of Christianity, Islam, Hinduism, etc., arrives at the conviction that the Japanese faith has been shaped by an "animistic life world." From his own feet and deep contemplation, he depicts the landscape of Japanese faith, a "real-feeling" comparative religious study.
