Nagasawa Kanaye: The Spiritual Life of California’s Japanese WinePioneer
Thomas Lockley, 
Nihon University College of Law, Tokyo, Japan.Abstract

===
In 1867, a young Japanese man, Nagasawa Kanaye （長澤鼎）, joined the charismatic American Thomas Lake Harris’ sect called ‘The Brotherhood of the New Life.’ 

Harris’teachings were originally inspired by the eighteenth-century Swedish Lutheran mystic,Emanuel Swedenborg, but later drew on a variety of religious and spiritual influencesfrom around the world, including Japan. 

Harris went out of his way to attract Japanesemen to his American communities and the most loyal, Nagasawa, eventually became his leading disciple and acknowledged heir. Nagasawa’s spiritual involvement with Harrishas traditionally been played down in favor of his status as a Californian wine guru and pioneering Japanese immigrant. This study, however, analyzing personal diaries and correspondence, attempts to uncover how a young samurai, raised to despise Christianity, became Harris’ leading follower. It sheds new light on Nagasawa’s religious side and what exactly his membership and eventual leadership of ‘The Brotherhood of the New Life’ meant to him and other Harris disciples.

Abstract

Since the mid-sixteenth century, Christianity has been notably active in Japan, and yet Japan remains one of the least-evangelized nations in the world. 

This dissertation is an attempt to work out an appropriate response to the question, “What are the main reasons why Christianity has not yet succeeded in Japan?” 

It investigates various factors, i.e. the societal, cultural, historical, missiological and political dimensions of Christianity in Japan, in searching for possible answers.

Generally, Christianity’s lack of quantitative success must be understood in the context of all of these factors, particularly,the worldview and political factors are the most salient ones.

This dissertation is based on extended literature study and draws from multiple sources across various disciplines, sources that are in English and generally based upon the work of both Japanese and Western scholars

Ideology and Christianity in Japan by Kiri Paramore |2009

Ideology and Christianity in Japan by Kiri Paramore | PDF

Ideology and Christianity in Japan by Kiri Paramore

 Ideology and Christianity in Japan Ideology and Christianity in Japan shows the major role played by Christian-related discourse in the formation of early-modern and modern Japanese political ideology.

The book traces the historical development of anti-Christian ideas in Japan from the banning of Christianity by the Tokugawa shogunate in the early 1600s,to the use of Christian and anti-Christian ideology in the construction of modern Japanese state institutions at the end of the 1800s. 

Kiri Paramore recasts the history of Christian-related discourse in Japan in a new paradigm showing its influence on modern thought and politics and demonstrates the direct links between the development of ideology in the modern Japanese state, and the construction of political thought in the early Tokugawa shogunate.  

Demonstrating hitherto ignored links in Japanese history between modern and early-modern, and between religious and political elements, this book will appeal to students and scholars of Japanese history, religion and politics.  

Kiri Paramore is Assistant Professor in Japanese History at Leiden University, The Netherlands. He received his PhD in 2006 from the University of Tokyo.
